He advised the Doig time of the passing of the official plan brothers they would be required to enter into a development agreement with the township before the plans could receive final approval. As there.were no objections to the proposed rezoning, it was the agree- ment of the Doigs, the county plann- ing department and Tuckersmith council that the rezoning should proceed. Mr. Caldwell also outlined to coun- cil the opportunity tour that is being organized for September of 1988 to bring foreign investors into com- munities in Bruce, Grey, Huron, Mid- dlesex and Perth Counties to view and discuss potential investment oppor- tunities with local businesses and municipal leaders. He asked Tuckersmith Township Council if it was interested in participating with the tour, and if so then the local municipalities would be responsible for preparing a municipal profile and for identifying and organizing poten- tial investment opportunities before the tour is held. Council was in agreement that the municipality should be involved and that a committee should be formed to include business and council representatives. Tom Prout of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority was at the council meeting to explain the Township of Hullett resolution re- questing the Authority to make re- quired amendments so that all member municipalities and residents in the Bayfield portion of the Authori- ty would be included and entitled to apply for and receive those grants available to the farmers in the Ausable watershed. Mr. Prout told council that through negotiations between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Environment the OSAF Pac had been enriched for some watershed areas and the criteria for the areas designated is now being reviewed and it is his feeling that in the near future all conservation areas will be included. Council decided that no further ac- tion should be taken at this time until the ministry has an opportunity to review the program criteria. Council will request the municipal engineer to include provision of an air onditioner in the office of the road superintendent in the new township shed. Council will forward a letter to the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications advising that it is im- possible to complete the sandblasting and painting of the steel trusses on the bridge at Lots 25-26, Con. 11 and 111, H.R.S. and that the municipality will not be able to use the full supplemen- tary subsidy allocation for this. Council will pay the registration fee of $50 for Janice Andrews of the township office staff, to attend the computer workship to be offered at the Vanastra Recreation centre. Passed for payment were the following accounts for a total of $200,540. They are general accounts $128,104.73; regular day care centre at Vanastra $8,445.66; special day care centre at Vanastra $6,977.01; roads $45,838.60; and Vanastra Recreation Centre`$11,174.21. The meeting was adjourned at 11 p.m. At Tuckersmith Township Council meeting Tuesday Wayne Caldwell of the Huron County Planning Depart- ment and Rod and Kenneth Doig of the Seaforth Golf and Country Club were present to discuss the proposed By .lack Riddell important initiatives ranging from a renewed emphasis on early educa- tion to more protection for automobile owners were announced in the On- tario Speech from the Throne last week. Promising continued fiscal respon- sibility, the Speech from the Throne outlined four major areas that will receive priority from the provincial government during the first session of the 34th Parliament of the province of Ontario. The four areas are: education and literacy training, affordable quality housing: diversity and equity, as well as accountability in government. important initiatives will bolster enforcement of environmental protec- tion standards, bring forward a com- prehensive consumer protection code and continue to directly create and preserve low and moderately -priced housing. Following up on a campaign pro- mise, the government outlined educa- tional initiatives that will equip our children with the skills, knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit they will need to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In education, the speech promised to: -- reduce class sizes in grades 1 and 2 to allow teachers to spend more time with each student in helping them to learn. increase the number of computers in the classroom to 100,000 from 60,000 over the next three years. -- establish new benchmarks for literacy, languages, math, science and social science, and insure that parents receive more detailed infor- mation about their children's performance. -- provide new textbooks and learning material. In the area of protection for 9oiiinfi Emphasize education automobile owners, the government promised that legislation will be rein- troduced to establish an independent and accessible rate review hoard for automobile insurance premiums. Honourable Robert Nixon, Minister of Financial Institutions, reintroduced this legislation the day after the Speech from the Throne was read. in addition, the Insurance Act will be amended to establish a means of arbitrating consumer complaints regarding unfair insurance practices. Legislation will also be reintroduc- ed to provide protection for owners of vehicles needing repairs. I am pleased that the government also promised to continue its commit- ment to develop innovative ap- proaches to assisting Ontario farmer: given the continued global pressures. The current legislative session pro- mises to be a busy one for agriculture, with several important pieces of legislation expected. including Right - to -Farm legislation. llealth and Welfare Canada - Service Changes Health and Welfare Canada have advised that in their Goderich and Walkerton offices, their service will be changing from the present first come, first served basis, to schedul- ed appointments. This would apply to those attending these offices for assistance with Old Age Security, Canada Pension, and Family Allowance problems. This method is designed to alleviate the long waits that people have been experiencing. To arrange an appointment, call 1-800-265-9480. It is also a good idea to use this number if arranging an ap- pointment in the London office. Grants to Riding The Village of Bayfield has recent- ly received special financial assistance of $51,997 from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, in ad- dition to the $170,854 contributed by the province earlier this year.
