That OFA establish a county liason committee to be made up of persons knowledgeable of programs in their county but not active provincially. The objective of this committee would be: 1. to gather information from all counties as to their programs and effectiveness. 2. to evaluate these programs 3. through OFA to make the information they assemble available to all counties. 4. to encourage active county programs and assist in setting up new programs within counties. - moved by Doug Fortune, seconded by Louise Marritt. . .
