(Alan Rivett photo) Van Horne speaks on senior's mandate Friday • from page 1 – A public awareness campaign ($1.6 million ) In questions fielded by Mr. Van Horne following his speech to the Spring Rally, some seniors citizens who attended were concerned about the lack of transportation available for seniors in rural communities. Mr. Van Horne said these transportation concerns will be addressed in the govern- ment's second White Paper on senior citizens in Ontario called "Housing, Transportation and Income Support". He pointed out that transportation is a big pro- • blem for seniors in rural areas, noting the inequities in the province with urban seniors having para -transit especially for the elderly and the disabled. He said a dumber of transportation solu- tions for seniors the government is looking into are establishing a base pay for volunteer drivers who would drive senior citizens to their destinations. He said this is being done in some northern Ontario Communities. He also said school buses could be used in a different way to get seniors around during the daytime. Mrs. Joan Robinson, a ,member of the Lucknow Town and Country Club,•the local senior citizens group, says Mr. Van Horne was contacted to speaker at the meeting after Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elson was unable to attend. Mr. Van Horne was thanked and presented with a gift. Board awards contract Acting on a recommendation from its finance and audir committee, the board of governors at the Wingham and District Hospital awarded the 1987 insurance con- tract to the Frank Cowan Company. Committee Chairman Robert Pike said the committee had discussed insurance ex- tensively at its meetings and since the Cowan Company was willing to provide ex- tended coverage at a minimal increase, it decided to accept the Cowan quotation. Keil Insurance in Wingham is the local Cowan agent. The total cost to the hospital for insurance will be $38,780.
