Cutbacks for MVCA
will mean new strategy in '92
Faced with the prospect of
exceeding its projected $9.7 billion
deficit this year, the provincial gov
ernment slashed the budget of sev
eral ministries, and now Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority has
lost a grant equivalent of $27,700
for this year.
According to Director of Opera
tion and Acting General Manager
Dave Grummett, all conservation
authorities in Ontario are subject to
a collective restraint of $1.5 mil
lion., which the Ministry of Natural
Resources announced on Novem
ber 1.

Grummett said that the impact for
this year will be fairly low, as there
are only six weeks left in the bud
get year. "As our year begins in
January we are in a position that
the impact for '91 will not be too
great," said Mr. Grummett.
However, he added, the authority
is concerned with a proposed cut
for '92 of $2.5 million to the con
servation authorities which will
have a considerable effect on the
operation of MVCA. "This cut has
not been legislated as yet, but we
think the writing is on the wall and
it will have a serious impact for the
operating costs of ’92," said Mr.
Grummett.
