Ontario Hydro will join with the Ministry of Natural Re- sources in acquiring some 1800 acres of land at MacGregor Point, near Port Elgin, approximately 10 miles North of Inverhuron park. This new park is expected to be fully operational by 1975, and meanwhile Inverhuron will remain open to the public as an overnight camping area. After 1975 the swimming and picnic areas and open park space now occupied by campers, will remain available to the public free of charge, although the land will be owned by Hydro. I am disappointed in this news, because Inverhuron Park is con- sidered to be one of the, best - if not the best - Provincial Park in Ontario, and the likelihood of it being duplicated in the area is very remote. Also this week, , Premier Davis announced the establish- The residents of Huronview, along with other senior citizens of Ontario, will . celebrate Senior Citizens' Week from June 17th to 23rd. The event has been endorsed by the ministry of Com- munity and Social Services as part of the program for Homes for the Aged. The Committee of Manage- ment of Huronview has declared open house , for the week, and invites all senior citizens' clubs, or any citizen over 60, to come and join in the programs. For this week only, the dining room will be open to visitors and volun- teers at a nominal charge and supper will be provided the 'day of the picnic. Clubs or indi- viduals who are planning to stay for meals are asked to advise Huronview in advance. Following is a schedule of activities: A special church service will be held in the auditorium on Sun- day .morning, June 17th, with the choir of Ontario Street Church providing the music.

The members of the Commission will be nominated by the local Councils in the area, one each from the Region of Niagara and the Counties of Wentworth, Halton, Peel, Dufferin, Simcoe, Grey and Bruce. The Government has also put forward an Act to. Provide for Planning and Development in Ontario, which would give the provincial Government con- siderable power to force muni- cipalities to act on planning pro- blems. While making the pre- sentation on these plans to MPPs and municipal politicians, Premier Davis mentioned "the vital necessity of checking urban sprawl, of preserving community identity", and said that to achieve this the Government will have to "impose regulations for the plan- ning of land use on a scale pre- viously unknown in Ontario". grounds, weather permitting, or in the auditorium, lithe weather- man does not cooperate.
