Ron Van Horne, Ontario Minister for Senior Citizens' Affairs, was on hand at the United

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.
