MVCA to lease Galbraith park
The Maitland Valley Conserva
tion Authority (MVCA) is leasing
the Galbraith Conservation Area to
the Optimist clubs of Mornington
and Ellice Township to be used as a
day camp for children, beginning in
1991.
Galbraith Conservation Area, lo
cated on the Elma-Mornington
Township line south of Highway
86, has served as a public day use
and camping area for many years.
The move to lease the property
came after a proposal was put
forward by the Optimist clubs in
1990.
$3 million committed to training
The Ministry of Skills Develop
ment is committing $3-million to
enhance access to training for
women, natives and other under-
represented groups, and to provide
more training for technicians and
technologists, Minister Richard
Allen announced today.
Coupled with major capital works
projects, the two initiatives are part
of a series of special adjustment
measures that will be funded from

“The decision of the MVCA’s
board of directors to lease the park
was made mainly as a cost saving
measure,’’ noted Ken Westman,
MVCA general manager.
The Galbraith property has been
consistently losing money over the
past several years, on average
about $10,000.00 per year. Day use
and camping attendance at the
park has remained relatively low.
The maintenance and operations
costs of the area are borne by local
municipalities. Under the lease
agreement, these costs will be the
responsibility of the Optimists.
The funds saved by the MVCA
will be used in higher priority
activities, most of which are subject
to additional grants from the
provincial government.
“The MVCA’s directors felt the
agreement with the Optimists was
an excellent opportunity to put the
property to good use as a day camp
for children, while allowing the
MVCA to reduce costs,” noted Mr.
Westman.
While under lease to the Opti
mists, the park will not be open to
the general public for camping or
day use.
the $700-million anti-recession
package announced by the Ontario
government in December.
Skills Development is providing
$1-million to enhance access to
occupational training for women
and other under-represented
groups. Funding will be used to
provide preparatory training, giv
ing trainees the basic technical
skills needed to pursue apprentice
ships.
Oops! We goofed
In the article on Hallett council in
last week’s Citizen it said the date
for grass cutting and gravel tenders
was 4 p.m. on April 4. The correct
date is April 2.
We apologize for any confusion
this may have caused.
