Included among the municipalities are Seaforth, St. Marys, Forest and Goderich which will receive $2000,000 each. ONIP was announced in February, 1981, following the unilateral cancellation by the federal government of the Community Services Contribution Program. Under ONIP, the province will contribute 50 per cent towards the total costs of a neighbourhood improvement project. The grants will support a wide range of projects including roads, sidewalks, parks, com- munity centres and recreational facilities. The projects will be planned and implemented over the next four years and provincial grants will be allocated in instalments as the work progresses in each municipality. Completion of the projects is expected by December 31, 1985. Exeter Figure Skating Club Dance Sat., Jan, 30 s 3'• \O' AR\O EXEjER: '3 OW, , b' Phone 3 This is a storewide Sale.
