Scouting coast to coast for. mature students
Studying Abroad
Interculture Canada, the nation's
leading intercultural exchange organiza-
tion, is scouting the country coast to coast
for mature students, aged 15 to 18, in-
terested in studying abroad for one full
school year.
This not-for-profit, charitable organiza-
tion is this year celebrating its tenth an-
niversary and wishes to see more young
people join its growing class of interna-
tional students. "It's the educational
adventure of a lifetime," say Mary Ann
and Balbir Chopra, active volunteers for
the organization in Oakville, "and the time
to plan it is now."
Mr. and Ms. Chopra are concerned that
not enough students are aware of the
availability of this this kind of inter-
cultural learning experience. "It really is
worth knowing about" they say. "Our
students come home` with a wealth of
knowledge, skills and first-hand ex-
periences, which opens up a lot of doors."
Placements through Interculture
Canada are available in over thirty coun-
tries around the world. For countries
whose school calendar begins in winter,
such as Australia or Brazil, students must
apply before September 25, 1988. For the
remaining summer departure destina-
tions, November 30, 1988 is the application
deadline.
"It's an opportunity not to be missed,"
conclude Mr. and Ms. Chopra. "Not only
do our students develop more self-
confidence through the experience, but by
living with a carefully chosen host family,
Permits now required
to take excessive water
The summer of 1988 will longbe
remembered as one of the hottest and
driest on record. Across the province, On-
tario Environment Ministry office have
been reporting that creeks, streams and
rivers are drying up, partly because of the
excessive drawing of water for irrigation
and other purposes. Groundwater is also
being depleted as more people use their
wells to irrigate crops.
Watercourses serve many purposes,
providing fish and wildlife habitats, drink-
ing water, as well as water for livestock
care and farmland irrigation.
Neighborhood wells often draw for a
common groundwater source. People who
take large amounts of water run the risk of
interfering with local groundwater
supplies.
The Environment Ministry adminsters a
"permit to take water" program under
section 20 of the Ontario Water Resources
Act. Drawing large amounts of water
without the required permit is illegal.
The act requires anyone drawing water
at a rate greater than 50,000 litres (10,000
gallons) per day to obtain a permit. Those
drawing water for domestic and farm uses.
(such as lawn or livestock watering) are
exempt from the permit requirement, but
taking water for comrnercial purposes
(such as the irrigation of crops for sale)
does require a permit.
The maximum fine for drawing excess
water without a permit is $5,000 for an in-
dividual and $25,000 for a corporation.
Permit application forms can be obtain-
ed a local Environment Ministry office.
they also get a real and lasting taste of life
in a completely different part of the world -
a challenging education in itself."
Interculture Canada is a member of AFS
Intercultural Programs, the world's
largest network of international student
exchange programs established in 1947
and now operating in over seventy coun-
tries. Participation fees are comparable to
the amount normally spent on an adoles-
cent over an 11 -month period. Orientation
camps, the support of local counsellors,
and full-time national office assistance in
all member countries distinguish the
reputed quality of this organization's ex-
change program. Financial assistance is
available.

High standards will
not be compromised
• from page 1
Quality Standards
The quality standards of Canadian
agricultural products will not be affected.
I have publicly stated many times that
Canada will not compromise its high stan-
dards with respect to human, animal or
plant health.
Horticulture Industry
The agreement provides unique and
special tariff protection for fresh fruits
and vegetables for 20 years. Whenever
prices of imports fall below a benchmark,
a snapback to the Most Favored Nation
rate of duty will be implemented.
Recent amendments to the Canadian
Agricultural Products Act ban consign-
ment sales for imported fruit and
vegetables and control bulk shipments of
these products.
A Joint Advisory Committee of
Agriculture Canada and the Horticultural
Council has been established to examine
export opportunities and necessary ad-
justments for the sector.
Grapes and Wine
A recent GATT panel ruling, as well as
the Canada -U.S. agreement, is responsible
for the adjustment required in this sector.
It is the view of the GATT that the pro-
vinces' liquor board practices are incon-
sistent with Canada's international obliga-
tions. A joint federal/provincial adjust-
ment program has recently been announc-
ed with British Columbia and a similar
program is being negotiated with Ontario.
Differences in Interpretations
Contrary to the CFA's current
understanding of the intent of the U.S.
Statement of Administrative Action
(which accompanies the U.S. implemen-
ting legislation), the agreement does not
give the U.S. enhancedccess to Canadian
and world markets while still protecting
its own producers by excluding exports.
The U. Statement is not binding on
Canada. Disputes can be settled by mutual
agreement or by a binational panel ruling.
The panel's decisions will not be based on
any unilateral interpretation of the agree-
ment that either government may have
made prior to examination.
