Easter Seals
campaign
supporting
local
handicapped
EXETER - Although the way in
which the Easter Seals collects its
funds from donors has changed,
campaigners say it is still very
much a local program.
Laverne Hamilton, a member of
the Exeter Lions Club which sup-
ports the Easter Seals campaign in
Exeter, says the provincial cam-
paign is now able to save about 40¢
an envelope over the way donations
were handled in the past. However,
local donations do come back into
the Exeter area from the Don Mills
head office.
Hamilton said the mail -in cam-
paign, which collects donations in
exchange for the stick -on letter
seals delivered to each mailbox,
raised about $3,000 last year. The
Lions supplements those funds up
to about $10,000, he said.
All the money is used to aid
handicapped children and teenagers
up to 19 years in the area. It helps
pay for nurses, special equipment,
and even to send handicapped kids
to camp, giving their parents a
break.
Hamilton said a week at a special
abilities camp can cost up to $925,
which is why the organization
needs every dollar local donors can
send in.
The Easter Seals raises about 77
percent of its funds from donations,
and spends 87 percent of its total
directly on programs and services
for the handicapped. Over 8,000
Ontario children with physical disa-
bilities are aided by their programs.
Grand Bend carver Peter Challen demonstrates how he makes his lifelike loons as part of the
Lambton County Museum's program to celebrate the return of the swans to the fields just be-
hind the museum.
Canada Day grants
available from
federal government
GODERICH - Huron -Bruce MP
Paul Steckle says both grant funds
and youth awards are available to
support Canada Day activities this
year.
The government is already ac-
cepting applications for funds to
sponsor Canada Day activities in
local communities. The deadline
for applications is April 15, so all
municipalities and organizations
looking for financial aid to give
Canada Day a boost for 1994 must
have their ideas in by then.
Steckle's office also says the Can-
ada Day Youth Award will return
for 1994, and "is designed to recog-
nize and reinforce the outstanding
achievements and contributions of
young people to their communi-
ties," said Steckle.
Potential recipients must be 18 or
younger and have made a contribu-
tion in any number of areas.
"Anyone may wish to nominate a
young person for this award who
exemplifies the qualities of citizen-
ship that strengthen our social fab-
ric and enrich our national life,"
said Steckle.
The deadline for nominations is
April 30.
Both applications for grants and
award nominations can be sent to
the Canada Day Committee for On-
tario at 25 St. Clair Ave. E. Suite
200, Toronto, On. M4T 1M2. Or
you can call collect at 416-973-
1990.
