Times -Advocate, December 13, 1989 Page 29 FWIO resolutions passed at Guelph GUELPH - With a theme of Women and the Environment for the year, it was natural that some of the Resolutions sustained at the Annual Meeting of Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario held recently in Guelph, dealt with this topic that affects all who live in rural Ontario. FWIO passed two resolutions that dealt with polycholinated bi- phenyls (P.C.B.'s), one asking that the Ministry of the Environment enforce legislation to eliminate P.C.B.'s and another asking that the Federal Dept. of Justice and the Ontario Attorney General pros- ecute politicians who.allow infrac- tions of the Environmental Protec- tion Act 0 Reg 11-82 pertaining to P.C.B.'s. . As many of the members of the FWIO live in rural and agricultu- ral areas where many land fill sites are almost full and new sites are contemplated for local garbage as well as sites for Toronto's garbage, the topic of waste was addressed. FWIO would like the Minister of the Environment to legislate a drastic reduction in "packaging" and also to enact legislation to stop the use of styrofoam and plas- tics for meat and vegetables sold in stores. One WI branch donated WI mugs to their local township coun- cil to stop them using throw -away styrofoam mugs and another WI branch who does a lot of catering has gone back to using china dishes instead of plastic throwa- way ones. Just an example of prac- tical application of what they mean. The FWIO is not only concerned with landfills and recycling in their own backyards. Last year they passed a resolution asking for mandatory recycling in Ontario This year they are asking the Fed- eral Minister of the Environment to establish guidelines for waste disposal apart from landfilling; to enact legislation making a consis- tent, efficient and uniform recy- cling program in each province and territory across Canada. - This program must be designed to make full and optium use of all recycling technology currently available to ensure that Canada re- mains an environmentally safe country for our future generations. An organization that was started over 90 years ago is proving, once again that its motto of "For Home and Country" is true as we ap- proach the 20th century as it was in the past.

The 1989 Budget committed $349 million for Home Care Assis- tance, an increase of 25 percent. This program enables seniors, who require health and social services, to remain in their own homes. The Home Support Program received an annual increase of $6.5 million. Also made available for 1988-89 was an additional $1.4 million for Elderly Persons' Centres operating grants. The Minister Responsible for Senior Citizens' Affairs, Gilles Mor- in, has also announced $12.3 million additional funding for: • $5.3 thillion to enrich home support programs; • $1 million for expansion of senior day programs; • $1 million to purchase vans to assist the elderly living in rural Ontario; • $3 million to enhance the develop- ment of Alzheimer community support services; • funds to support the,development of 25 new elderly persons' centres and an addition- al $2 million to support their operation and funding. The Ministry of Health has continued to develop health care pro- grams geared specifically towards the special needs of seniors, in- cluding financial assistance through the Assistance Devices Pro- gram for the purchase of hearing aids. The Government of Ontario has recognized the need to develop a system that better integrates individual independence, family and caregiver support, in-home services and long-term care beds. Community and Social Services Minister, John Sweeney, recently announced that a plan to reform the current system will be produced in early 1990. It will be a joint effort with the Minister of Health and Ministers Responsible for Senior Citizens Affairs and Disabled Persons. Ontario's seniors will soon receive their annual $50 Sales Tax Grant cheques. These Sales Tax Grant payments total over $54,000,000 and arc automatically sent to all senior citizens to help offset the sales taxes they have paid during the year. The Ontario government continues to seek the advice of the Onta- rio Advisory Council on -Senior Citizens. The Council advises the government through the Minister for Senior Citizens' Affairs. It pro- motes the development and creation of opportunities for self-help and reviews related policies and programs for seniors. Recently, it released its annual report. This year, the Council undertook province -wide consultations to help determine attitudes toward aging in multicultural Ontario. It also studied issues of housing, grandparents' rights and substitute decision-making for mentally incapable persons. As well, it fol- lowed up on recommendations from its major report on transporta- tion, "The Freedom to Move is Life Itself," prepared jointly with the Ontario Advisory Council for Disabled Persons in 1987. The Coun- cil continues to provide invaluable advice and guidance to the Of- fice for Senior Citizens' Affairs. The Ontario government will continue in its efforts on behalf of Ontario senior citizens to substantially improve their quality of life. their minister, the Rev.
