The Huron County Industrial Training Committee, located in Goderich, has received a $20,975 operating grant from the Ministry of Skills Development, Jack Rid­ dell, M.P.P. for Huron, announced recently. Skills development Minister Al­ vin Curling noted that the commit­ tee was a valuable resource in promoting a training culture throughout the province. “Because the committee mem­ bers operate in the heart of a community, they provide a source of planning knowledge and can be relied on to anticipate training needs,” Mr. Curfing said. “The committee members come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all have a common interest in train­ ing.” Community Industrial Training Committees are autonomous or­ ganizations made up of volunteers from business, industry, labour, education, and government. The committees are funded by the provincial and federal govern­ ments. “Employers are becoming in­ creasingly aware ofthefactthat training and retraining the present labour force is the most efficient way to compete in this rapidly- changingworldeconomy,” Mr. Riddell said, “the information and expertise provided by this commit­ tee will be of great help in developing and promoting a train­ ing culture among employers in the area.” For more information on Com­ munity Industrial Training Com­ mittees and other ministry training programs, call the toll-free Train­ ing Hotline number: 1-800-387- 5656. 1 Blyth Christian highway 4^ Reformed Church 4 BLYTH Readings by Elder J.

High school students to help MVCA Twenty-eight Ontario high school students have been given an opportunity to participate in a seven-week workshop about con­ servation, sponsored by the Mini­ stry of Natural Resources. The Program, started in 1986, gives young people first-hand exposure to natural resources, their management, and conserva­ tion issues. The participants, who come from all regions of the province, are . selected by a panel of ministry staff on the basis of their age and their answers to a questionnaire on environmental issues. Workshops are located in four different areas. Conservation Au­ thorities in North Bay evaluate wetlands, while others develop new hiking trials in Sault Ste. Marie. The Maitland Valley Con­ servation Authority will benefit from students helping map the physical and biological features of aneighbouringcreek while stu­ dents at the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority will study water erosion. The students work under the supervision of ministry and con­ servation authority staff. They receive a living allowance, meals, and accommodation.
