St. George's Anglican Church was the scene of an experimen- tal batik workshop on Saturday February 24. Arty and crafts could have been ideal programs to carry on but we' had no finance and no suitable location. Every second "Tuesday night in the parlour at Knot Presbyterian Church, Co -Pilot sponsored Human Relations Seminars. These seminars featured a guest speaker discussing a par- ticular topic with an interested audience. Among the subjects presen- ted were Drugs and the Law and featured Corporal Maurice Woods from the London detachment of the H.C. M.P. as the guest speaker - Venereal disease, with Dr. Frank Mills as the speaker; Broken Homes with Bruce Heath of the Children's Aid Society. Abor- tion with Dr. H R. Ceisier, Civil Rights with Dan Murphy, and Sexuality and C orimm'unication with Dr. Mario Cauchi and Ms. Lorrailie Cauchi. These seminars brought out a few interested people but not as many as we hoped for. The presentation which were geared towards young people were much more successful than the adult seminars. Music and still photography workshops were initiated by Co -Pilot. The center at 38 Hamilton Street provided . young people with a place to go on Friday and Saturday nights. The' public relations commit- tee were also invited as guest speakers by a few service clubs in order to make 'the project better known. This proved suc- cessful and we are especially thankful to the Rotary for their help. The Signal Star also gave us space to write a weekly column explaining all programs ac- tivities to the community. Co -Pilot provided coun- selling and referral services to interested clients. Thanks to Rev. Garwood Russell .from t. George's Anglican Church we were allowed to use the church to present films and discussions on several weekends. - We obtained the old Eaton building on the square for the winter break, from March 16 to 25, to be used as a. coffeehouse. The building held .a few card tables, a ping pong table andd-a stereo set and we entertained on the average'.of about 60 young people every night*" for the whole week. We set up a job bank for local young people. Anyone who needed young people to do odd jobs -or errands -would-con- tact us and we .Would promptly find the required manpower. This program was very suc- cessful. and we found a lot of small jobs for kids- to do and never received any complaints ••• from employers. A petition seeking support for a permanent youth -adult organization and center was circulated .and we collected over 400 signatures from in- terested citizens. We obtained a larger cof- feehouse at 33 Anglesea Street in mid-April. We had hoped that this new coffeehouse would become the main activity of our project but the fact that spring was here and, that kids coufd niw get involved in out- door activities soon proved us wrong. We questioned a lot of young people as to why they were not patronizing the coffeehouse and we learned that; The cof- feehouse is too far from the square, The coffeehouse was needed in cold winter months and not during the summer, There -were still no activities happening at the coffeehouse due to the lack of materials. We then conducted a need - appreciation survey in the local schools to gauge the interests and needs of young people for the summer progiam. This survey proved that the coffeehouse idea was quickly fading and that young people wanted a center that would of- fer thein a variety of activities rather -than just a place to go to listen to music. Recreation ac- tivities were what young people in Goderich ivanted. This is why we have decided that Project Co -Pilot will end on May :31, 1973 and that a new recreation program will be initiated. '-his program titled Rec•re,Action will begin on June. II, and will go on until September I. It is sponsored by the provincial government and the recreation committee ' in Goderich. Mike Dymond, Local Recreation Director, -will be working with three local young people to ensure the projects success. - The experience which we received while, working ,with Co -Pilot will benefit us forever. We got to know a lot of people in the community and found out that the -establishment" was not as uncaring as we had believed. • Co -Pilot was. very successful. It was only a stepping stone in Goderich. Hopefully many more projects -of this nature Will be initiated' in order to provide young people with a place to go, something to do and to learn a bit along the way - Goderich FRENCH Dry vI Cleaners WEST ST. 524-8452 On Special Savings Accounts as of June 1.
