Directors at the FWIO annual meeting (in late November) called for a meeting between FWIO representatives and the leaders of the three provincial political par- ties. The resolution added that it was the Institute members' hope that these meetings "could develop a time frame for the positive action ... promised on behalf of farmers." The directors also learned that there are no provincial regulations concerning the safety of people and livestock when farm manure holding tanks are installed, unless the farmer applies for a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The direc- tors approved a motion asking that OMAF, the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment "introduce provin- cial legislation stating that all types of existing and future farm manure holding tanks have adequate safety measures maintained at all times." Concern for the safety of rural property owners prompted a se- cond resolution requesting that "the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources strengthen the protec- tion rights of landowners in rural areas under the Trespass to Pro- perty Act by forbidding persons from hunting game from the road- sides in rural and agricultural areas." Another farm -related motion re- quested that Environment Canada pass the necessary legislation to remove Ring -billed Gulls from the list of protected species. The Women's Institute, first established in 1897, has often taken a public stand on educa- tional issues, which directors did again at the annual meeting. The FWIO directors approved a mo- tion asking the Ontario Minister of Education "to implement a law change to deny the teachers of On- tario the right to strike." The board approved a resolution expressing concern that vehicles continue to pass school buses when BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY We are offering for sale the following parcels of com- mercial property and modern seed cleaning equipment, no longer need- ed in the continuing opera- tion of our business, as we have chosen to concentrate on the design, production, and marketing of quality farm equipment.
