This includes: Victor- ia Day Weekend, May 19,20,21,22; Canada Day Weekend June 30, July 1,2,3,; Civic Holiday Weekend Au- gust 4,5,6,7; Labour Day Weekend September 1,2,3,4; Thanksgiving Weekend October 6,7,8,9. In 1988, there was no alcohol ban on the Victoria Day weekend. Ex- cessive noise led the Ausable Bay- field -Conservation Authority to ban on the remaining 1988 holiday weekends. The ban contributed to enjoyable camping for everyone. At the same time, attendance did not decrease while the ban was in ef- fect. Anyone wishing further informa- tion should contact the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority at 235-2610 or the Parkhill Conserva- tion Area at 294-0114.

Loan program - to continue TORONTO - The allocation sys- tem for distributing funds to mu- nicipalities under the Tile Drainage Act Loan Pr6gram adopted last year will be continued for 1989- 1990, Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food Jack Riddell an- nounced Friday. The interest rate applied to de- bentures purchased by the province under the program will remain at eight percent. "We expect this system to work even .more effit:iently this year since farmers and municipalities are familiar with all the details from last year," said Riddell. Municipalities receive an initial budget for the tile loans based on their level of spending over the past three years. Adjustments to these allocations are made through- out the year to reflect actual de- mand for loans in each municipali- ty. . Loa% to any one individual may not exceed 75 percent of the cost of tile drainage works, the amount re- quested by the farmer or $20,0Q, whichever is less. AIDS video CLINTON - Awareness of AIDS has increased substantially, with media reports of personal tragedies, medical advances and even TV dra- ma. But the effect of AIDS on business and employees is only now beginning to be felt. On May 16, the Huron County Health Unit will host a national satellite videoconference caped AIDS In The Workplace" at the Hu- ronview Auditorium, Clinton, On- tario. The three hour videoconfer- ence has been produced by Sheridan Videoconferencing in association with the Federal Centre for AIDS (FCA). "AIDS In The Workplace" is a working videoconference designed so that participants will have a clear idea of the workplace issues and sufficient knowledge to begin to de- velop an AIDS policy for their own company. The moderator of the national videoconference is Broadcaster Adrienne Clarkson and national panelists include FCA Director Alastair Clayton, Dr. David Roy founder of the Centre for Bioethics in Montreal and other representa- tives of business, industry and the law who are knowledgeable about AIDS policy. Case studies of per- sons with AIDS (PWA) and their experiences in the workplace will be presented during the conference. The conference will take place May 16, 1989, from 12:45 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Jr. Aggie CLINTON - This year's Junior Agriculturalist program is off to a _fast start, with applications com- ing in daily. The deadline has been extended past the original deadline of April 28. This employment program is an opportunity for young people from 15 to 24, with no farm experience, to live and work on a farm for eight weeks in the summer. The youth is paid a training allowance of $35 per day and has every other weekend off. - The farmer pays $17 of this and is required to provide room and board. The host family is also re- quired to train the young person and to encourage involvement in community activities such as 4-H and Junior Farmers. This is an excellent experience for both the youth and the host farmer. - For more information, contact your local Agricultural or Canada Employment Centre or the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
