Local conservation and environ-
mental efforts will be seriously
threatened by the cutbacks
announced by the provincial
government. Local Conservation
Authorities are expecting cuts in
operating budgets alone of 10 to 12
per cent or higher. Across the
province, the Ontario government
slashed its budget for Conservation
Authorities by almost one-third or
$11 million.
For the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority (MVCA),
the cutbacks will likely force staff
layoffs and reductions in the
maintenance of conservation areas.
Conservation education activities
for school children and services to
landowners may also be reduced.
The province cut support to the
MVCA's budget by about eight per
cent in 1992.
"These cuts are a direct assault
NI local environmental programs,"
;aid Ross Duncan, MVCA General
vlanager. "We recognize that these
ire extremely tough economic
imes and that the government must

Guest speaker that night was
Peter Smith, the Artistic Director of
the Blyth Festival. He described the
play Many Hands and asked for
volunteers to help with costume
making or carpentry. They were
encouraged to have a bake sale or
put up a W.I. display. They will
discuss this further at their May
meeting.

controlling the deficit. But
Conservation Authorities have paid
a far higher price than other
government or local agencies. All
that we are asking of the province
is that they treat us fairly."
In addition, Provincial support
for wetland conservation is also
being drastically reduced. Over
100,000 hectares of environ-
mentally- sensitive land in Ontario
acquired by Conservation Authori-
ties over the past 50 years may
have to be sold off because of
announced provincial government
cutbacks. The MVCA owns several
thousand hectares of wetland and
forest.
Ontario's 38 Conservation
Authorities undertake a wide range
of environmental programs
including flood control, wetland
conservation, flood plain planning,
soil conservation, reforestation,
conservation areas and parks and
conservation education.

Tanner and Cassandra Banks
greeted worshippers at Duff's
United Church April 25. The choir
got toes tapping with their song
"Just like Salt".
Rev. Banks' time with the
children was spent reviewing the
names of the 12 disciples. He also
talked about church camps.
The scripture lesson, Luke 24:
13-35, was read by Murray Dennis.
Rev. Banks' sermon was called
"Living in God's Country: The
ultimate title deed for every field,
forest, lake, mountain or river is
held by God, the creator, in spite of
all of our pretensions to ownership,
he said. Let us rededicate ourselves
to caring about where we live and
its people, to being more
responsible and foresighted
earthkeepers and acknowledging
that the earth is God's and
everything in it, he said.
Rev. Banks led the worship
service at Huronlea at 2:00 Sunday.
May 2 is the meeting date for the
Unified Board at 8:00.
