Provincial government to protect
abandoned railway rights-of-way
GODERICH - The province is
committed to ensuring the best pub-
lic use of abandoned railway rights
of way, MPP Paul Klopp said Fri-
day on behalf of Transportation
Minister Mike Faman.
"We will find alternative uses for
those lands," said Klopp. "We will
identify and protect them in cases
where they have potential public
benefit - now or down the road."
"We are doing this today so that
we can make the wise choices - the
choices that make the most sense
for the province - in the months and
years to come. To do that, we must
protect the integrity of these lands
now."
Klopp announced Friday in
Goderich that Ontario would invest
up to $2 million in jobsOntario cap-
ital funding over the next two years
to acquire, develop and protect
abandoned railway rights-of-way.
He said the money will ensure the
lands remain available for strategic
public uses, which could include
recreation, health, fitness, utilities,
transportation, conservation and ed-
ucation.
The government will encourage
partnerships with municipalities,
conservation authorities and other
public and private organizations to
buy, manage and improve local
properties. Local announcements,
and the specific criteria for assess-
ing the lands, will follow as they
become available.
"We have already laid the
groundwork for strong public-
private partnerships," said Howard
Hampton, Minister of Natural Re-
sources. "Two significant greenway
corridors linking the Trent Water-
way to Algonquin Park, and the
Grand River to the Niagara Escarp-
ment, are being developed in part-
nership with local communities."
In September, Management
Board Secretariat concluded a deal
with CP Rail on behalf of the gov-
ernment to buy the Guelph to
Goderich abandoned railway right-
of-way, protecting it for long-term
use as a utility or pipeline corridor.
Staff have worked closely for the
past year with other ministries, mu-
nicipalities and community repre-
sentatives to determine the best in-
terim use of the Guelph to
Goderich corridor. Interested
groups and individuals, including
farmers and owners of adjacent
land have taken part in a public
consultation process that will serve
as a model for future agreements.
"Many local communities, and
regional and provincial trails organ-
izations, have already demonstrated
how recreational uses of the aban-
doned corridors can provide new,
healthy lifestyle and economic de-
velopment opportunities," said
Anne Swarbrick Minister of Cul-
ture, Tourism and Recreation.
"Rail -trails planned and developed
with local support can enhance the
tourism and recreation infrastruc-
ture for everything from hiking to
cross-country skiing, cycling,
horseback riding, snowmohiling
and more."
`Wassail' takes the stage
LONDON - The ninth produc-
tion of Wassail! will take the stage
of Talbot Theatre on December 3
at 7 p.m. and December 4 at 3 p.m.
This year's cast will have a decid-
edly "youthful" look, with the ad-
dition of a group of singers and
dancers from the Lester B. Pearson
School for the Arts. In addition,
the orchestra for the production
will be composed of teachers and
students from London's secondary
schools.
The Executive Producer of Was-
sail!, Tom Siess, said, ."Our pro-
duction tries to recapture the spirit
of old-fashioned family Christmas-
es. I can't think of a better way to
do this than to include children
and young people in the perfor-
mance of the songs and customs
that were common in the house-
holds of past centuries. We are
lucky to have many talented young
people in London, and we are de-
lighted that some of that youthful
talent is now part of Wassail!.
Traditional Morris and sword
dances, country dances, English
carols and a Mummers play are
woven together in Wassail! with
seasonal poetry and prose from the
18th and 19th Centuries. Costumes
of the early 18th century round out
the colourful seasonal tapestry.
The production of directed by
Doug Beattie. The Mummer's play
in this year's production will have
a distinctive contemporary Canadi-
