Rural health care and education are also priorities to the Federation, as rural Ontario has unique needs in these areas. The effects of downloading Don’t be left out in the cold!

Dedicating a portion of gasoline taxes toward the maintenance of rural roads and guaranteeing provincial infrastructure money is made available are seen as priorities. The issue of land ambulance services and the need for this service to be funded provincially is also an issue. Rounding out the issues identified is the need for accessible and affordable child care for rural areas. They are also advocating an increased role for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as an unbiased education and information source. The issues are being raised as a way of making the voting public aware of concerns in local agricultural circles. The Huron Federation has sent their platform to each candidate and will address as many of the issues as possible to them during two of their all­ candidates meetings, being held Wednesday, May 19 at Huron Centennial School at Brucefield, and on Monday, May 31, 1999 at the Lucknow Legion.
