The tender will be for the operation and maintenance of the park facilities. Contracting of provincial parks is not new to Ontario. The Ministry of Natural Resources has been doing this successfully for a number of years elsewhere in the province. Wingham District Manager, Andy Houser, sees this as a positive ap- proach to park management. "This affords the opportunity for a private contractor to operate an established recreational facility, bringing revenue into the local area and pro- moting the spirit of healthy competi- tion, while the park continues in pro- vincial ownership." "The contracting of Point Farms Provincial Park will not diminish the high quality and standards the park has been noted for over the years," said Park Superintendent and Conser- Sex education SS Board topic There is no individual sex education counselling by public health nurses in elementary schools, Dr. Susan Tamblyn told the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board. The Perth Medical officer of health and her Huron counterpart, Dr. Harry Cieslar, were at the school board's January 28 meeting. The two were there to discuss the health units' activities in schools before the board signs an agreement to allow health unit staff into the schools. Trustee Ron Murray said that as long as the public health nurses are aware of the Roman .Catholic philosophy when involved in health counselling he is not worried about the counselling. Last fall trustees talked about in- $ividual counselling and wondered •r. .- Students, particularity in the area of sex education. Dr. Tamblyn said counselling in the elementary schools is usually about emotional problems or headaches. Director of education William Eckert said there have been no pro- blems with the public health nurses in the past. The health unit does a pre-school assessment of each child entering kindergarten. This incluses a vision and hearing test as well as recording medical history. In succeeding school years, the health unit staff immunize the students as needed, conduct further vision and hearing tests and run a dental program. Both medical officers of health said the health units' professional staff is availabletas alresource to teachers. vation Officer, Glen Sturgeon. "By ensuring that these standards remain high, the Ministry of Natural Resources can free up staff, who would normally work in the park, for important tasks elsewhere. By pro- moting a kind of entrepreneurship, while providing the opportunity for the contractor to make a profit, con- tracting the operations of Point Farms Provincial Park should ultimately save money for Ontario taxpayers". Tender documents are available from the Ministry of Natural - Resources, RR 5 Wingham, until February 15. A non-refundable fee of $25.00 is required from all prospective tenderers. Tenders will close at 11:00 a.m. on March 1 and will be opened publicly at 1:30 p.m. on March 1 at the Ministry of Natural Resources Wingham District Office.
