Cs imsl:weersq Missies 2341-4702 Told not to rely on funds un c pa ties should rely on local initiatives rather than government funding for recreation programs was the message given to the Zurich Chamber of Commerce Thursday. Melanie McLaughlin, field representative of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation was the guest speaKer at the chamber's January meeting. McLaughlin said programs such as Ex- perience '81 are approved at the last minute and ministry personnel are never sure year-to-year if the program is to be run. An Experience '81 grant helped pay for the Zurich summer playground program. "No• matter how worthwhile." she said of the programs operated under Experience '81,". (the money) may not always be there." The field representative - said the ministry works un-' der the theory of decreasing funding. in the hopes that the ' municipalities involved will take up a bigger share of the cost each year. ,"Some of us get lost in the idea that recreation equals sports." she added, saying that recreaton includes most aspects of life even such ac- tivities as cloudwatching can be considered recrea- tion. There are four areas of recreation within a com- . munit'y. McLaughlin ex- plained. The first is the private sec- tor. This is the activities bf people within their own homes. With the technological revolution in video games. McLaughlin said this area of recreation was becoming more significant. The second area is labeled commercial and ' includes movie houses, golf courses, skiing. pubs and 'even the loca tsinball arcade. McLaughlifFliajd it was portant toage this area of recreafoi!►if it can be conducted at reasonable rates. There is also corporate recreation where cor- porations provide recreation facilities for their employees.

Cnar)es Wesley recreation. government in- volvement. McLaughlin said the government may not be able to provide as much in the future as they have been providing. \, The field representative suggested local business has the dual role of insuring the four areas of recreation are present and active in a com- munity and that planning and funding for future recreation be encouraged. She said the ministry is dedicated to helping the thought and planning for the future. She added the population was becoming older and that with the predicted recession of the years 1980 to 1985 there would be little •money from the provincial govern- ment to support municipal recreation. "When we're living in a community it's our respon- sibility to look at the trends affecting our community," McLaughlin said. Individuals can assist a community's culture and recreation by thinking about the future needs and plan- ning now. She indicated -urban cen- tres were more advanced in offering programs for seniors but that there was no single community with a progressive recreation program`for seniors. For 4) years recreation programs have been tailored to baby -boom kids McLaughlin said and now we are facing an older popula- tion with no recreation facilities for them. When asked how a com- munity could set up programs for both culture and sports McLaughlin said government funding should be a last resort and people should first rely on themselves. In the case of the village of Blyth which has a theatre group and active minor sports. McLaughlin suggested ideas be taken to local rec boards since they depend mainly on local sup- port. A full time recreation director McLaughlin said could take advantage of the Lake Huron Zone ' Associa- tion of rec directors who bookbands and entertain- ment as a group. McLaughlin said local museums were having a hard time financially because grants for operating funds were being cut-back. "In the whole province things (community cultural projects such as museums) are mushrooming," the field rep said. "The ministry won't help (municipalities) get -into debt." Also attending the chamber's meeting were Jerry Rader and Dan Turkheim of the Zurich arena board. In other business: The chamber will be arranging the banquet for the Swiss hockey team which will visit Zurich February 21. The March chamber meeting will be a farm night. Chamber president Bob Fisher welcomed new members and reminded members that any ideas for chamber activities be dis- cussed in committees, by the executive and then at a general meeting. He 'suggested that plan- ning begin now for the chamber's annual sauerkraut supper in April.
