There's not enough fish to support Canadians and there isn't going to be enough if the Spanish keep over -fishing? Do you believe that Canada is doing the right thing stopping Spanish trawlers from fishing Turbot in international waters off the coast of Newfoundland? Irene Dunn - Zurich "I don't think we should let them come in. Let our Canadians do the fishing." John McDowell - Grand Bend "I think it's a good idea. We're paying big money to people on welfare who can't fish because of the depletion of fishing stock" Bill Johnston - Zurich "Excellent! I think we have to maintain a standard to protect our fishing stock even though they are fishing in international waters." John Baker - Hensall "Great idea - we've got to protect our fishing." Luise Hoffman - Grand Bend "The Spanish seem to be the scapegoat. I don't think the Spanish fishing methods are any different from our Canadian fishermen" Allan Bullock - Exeter "The Spanish provoked it - they're fishing too much" Dining program looking for volunteers Dinners are held eve- ry Wednesday in Zu- rich.

Jerome Sweeney spent the week TO THE PEOPLE OF GRAND BEND RE: UPCOMING HARBOUR STUDY PUBLIC MEETING Oil Friday, March 31st, 1995, there will be a Public Meeting at the Grand Bend Legion beginning at 7P:00 p.m. The purpose of this meeting Is to discuss and review the Consultant's report concerning the proposed upgrade and expansion of Grand Bend's Harbour facilities. To date, there appears to be some concern and misunderstanding about the Study and what actually will happen if and when Council approves or accepts the Study and its recommendations. The concept of a harbour expansion was first put forth in a Village's Strategic Plan adopted by Council in 1993. In discussions with appropriate Government agencies, the Village was advised to undertake a study to determine whether or not such upgrade and expansion was feasible. Hence, the necessity of this Study. The Study delves into many facets of the community and makes recommendations for future development in the Village's harbour activities. It also identifies some major issues that must be addressed before the expansion can occur. Such issues are: (a) financial assistance, (b) shoreline impact, and (c) land ownership. Clearly, before commitments for expansion can be made there is a significant amount of work that will have to be done, assuming Council approves or accepts the Study and its recommendations. Such work will require funding and Council will have to determine how to obtain the necessary funding. It is my belief that this Study is just an initial step In a long process that the Village will have to travel before any commitments, finandal or otherwise, can be made to incur the multi-million dollar cost outlined in the Study. I hope residents of the area will attend the meeting to get a better understanding of the proposals and the process Involved. J.C.
