likely to change here
I would
Dear Eddor: To like to clear up the confusion
about the Ontario government's plans for
Sunday shopping legislation.
• On April 14, the government unveiled its
plans to change legislation in order to pro-
vide Ontario residents with a new set of
rules which ate fairer, more coherent and
can be enforced.
The amendments are not likely to result
in major changes in the current Sunday
shopping situation in Huron County.
The new rules will allow Ontario com-
munities freedom of choice in determining
their own individual needs. Local govern-
ments will be able to pass bylaws permit-
ting the opening or requiring the closing of
retail establishments on Sunday in keeping
with their own values.
As• a result, Huron municipalities will be
able to allow the present situation to con-
tinue, if they wish. Or, they will be able to
make changes, if they wish.
Currently, some - such as Blyth,
Bayfield and Goderich - allow varyingit
degrees of Sunday openings, while nearby
towns such as. Clinton, Wingham and Ex-
eter are far more restrictive.
The new rules are an extension of the
current practice, which allows
municipalities control of store hours six
days a week and partial control of Sunday
hours. The new rules givethe municipality
ur
more control over Sunday hours.
The new laws will also have clear advan-
tages over the current chaotic situation.
The new rules will be coherent and en-
forceable - and treat retailers more
equitably.
In addition, amendments to the Employ-
ment Standards Act will, for the first time,
provide effective protection for all retail
workers, who will now have the right to
refuse unreasonable assignment of Sunday
work.
The amendments also provide protec-
tion for religious groups, while allowing
for an orderly transition to the new rules
over a five-year period.
Overall, the changes proposed by the On-
tario government will provide a number of
important benefits while leaving the
decision-making powers in the hands of the
locally -elected councillors.
Sincerely yours,
Jack Riddell, Minister
of Agriculture and Food,
MPP for Huron.

A stunning array of quilts caught our attention at the Legion Ladies Auxiliary Quilt,
Tea and Bake Sale last Saturday. Jean Philips, a member of the auxiliary, explains
the design of this Lone Star quilt to Emma Cox and Bev VanNinhuys, both of Bayfield.
Another intricate work of art was the Colonial Lady quilt made by Jean. She has been
quilting since she married in 1949 and claims to have made 100 quilts. Winners of the
draws held during the show were Mel Schmidt, Formosa; Helen McIntyre, Lucknow;
and Pat Everson, Lucknow. (Pat Livingston)
