[A] Clerk-Treasurer Village of Brussels The Huron County Health Unit will be receiving $8,800 from the Ontario Ministry of Health to finance an AIDS information pro­ gram in the county. The Ontario Ministry of Health has announced it will be spending $7.1 million dollars for AIDS programs across the province. This money will be available for AIDS education, information, and sup­ port for community groups and health units. “Many people still lack a basic understanding of AIDS, or refuse to accept its realities,” said Health Minister Elinor Caplan in making the announcement. “It is therefore necessary to expand our groundwork of infor­ mation, education and compas­ sionate care. Until an effective vaccine is developed, this informa­ tion will be of even greater importance in fighting AIDS.” Of the $7.1 million dollars, $8,800 has been given to Huron County for a one-time grant. This may seem like a small percentage for the funding of the county’s AIDS program, but on the other hand there is only one known AIDS victim existing in Huron County.
