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.

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.
