The Honorable Charles Caccia, Minister of the Enviromrient, in a recent speech noted; "Habitat destruction is the single most important factor affecting many of our • CanadiaiewildlifeepopullatienC4Thelossai - habitat, particularly wetlands, has reaChed serious proportions throughout the developed areas of Canada. There is now an urgent need for a concerted effort by both the public and private sectors to conserve land as wildlife habitat. Wetlands are not the wastelands that so many people think they are." The foundation, to be incorporated as a federally chartered non-profit corporation, will undertake a national program to en- courage government agencies, non- governmental organizations and the private -sector to join in the protection and wise use of wildlife habitat. Wildlife Habitat Canada has been approv- ed by the federal cabinet. Its ongoing pro- grams will ' be funded in part through revenues from the annual sales of Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permits. Cost of these permits will therefore increase from the present $3.50 to $7.50 in 1985. Sport- smen's organizations across the country, recognizing the precarious situation of wetlandS, support a permit fee increase as this revenue will be directed into habitat conservation programs. "An initial one million dollar contribution by the federal government will allow a rapid start-up of the Foundation," said Mr. Cac- cia. "We are convinced that the future depends on innovative and cooperative pro- grams with: :interested prani?...atiOns in- ---- cluding those in the private sector. Mr. Caccia encouraged individuals and corporations to assist the foundation in at- taining its objectives by making :tax- deductible donatibits: mn.$ '1;01, I v4n • vs " 'A recent cooperative survey called "The Importance of Wildlife to Canadians' show- ed that 84 per cent or 15.5 million adult Canadians spent more than $4.2 billion on wildlife related activities in this • country during 1981.

These losses translate into serious reductions in many wildlife populations. the news, however, is not all had, There are many examples of successful, efforts, by Canadians to protect valuable wildlife land,!' You're. righr, Mr, Caccia! Ducks unlimited has been doing that for 47 years. In fact, in 198.3,-DIrearried out work on 380 individuatprojects-representing-18;297-inew heetarea. .OIL,hlibitat-sostvss...Cairada :,and ia negotiations with_governments and private landowners brought 47;062 ha of wetland under reservation for future development. Banie-based Provincial Manager John Bain reported that in Ontario 49 new pro- jects , involving 1,960 new hectares are scheduled for construction in 1984. Highlighting the prOvinClaptogtakt. will be the 1,400 -ha Big Creek Complex, a critical Lake. Erie waterfowl producing and staging area which, at present, is operating far below potential. In the DU annual report, it shows that out of every dollar, 81 cents goes back into habitat development programs. Operations and maintenance of existing projects take 10 cents which leaves only nine cents for con- ducting Waterfowl Surveys, planning and control, and public relations and contributor services. In my opinion, that's an efficient and ac- curate use of donated funds, and if Wildlife Habitat Canada can match it, so much the better. I have my doubts, however, since the government is involved. Mr. Caccia stated that "Therefore, while federal funds will start the foundation, we intend that it be self-sustaining in the long term: I believe it is particularly interesting that hunters, for the first time, will know that their fees are going directly to the .con- servation of migratory bird populations." It's about time! If . this is the. first, I Wonder where all those licence fees, am- munition taxes, etc. that have been col- lected for years have been going.We've known for years that "Hunters Pay For Con- servation" through private organizations like Ducks Unlimited and the Federation of Anglers and Hunters as well is licence *Bins againivitIfYit a-liotheireVirr • • I would propose that they also licence bird watchers,, naturalists, hikers, campers and preservationists, Since they all seem to have • a Int to xargbout theetatne wildlife we 'are Working to conserve wind improve but never to our advantage. Money talks, so let them put their coin where their mouth is. It would .sure silence a lot of people. • • • But anyway; goodluck to Wildlife -Habitat Canada. For the time being, however, I'll stick with the tried and true organizations. like DU and OFAH. •Peewee A's tied in playoff series Last weekend the Peewee A's opened their best of three O.M.H.A. quarterfinal • series with Kingsville.. - In Clinton on Saturday night before a good hometown crowd, the locals suffered a . heartbreaking defeat, losing 6-3. Heart- breaking, in that Kingsville scored withjust 14 seconds remaining in regulation time to force a 10 min. overtime and went on to score three unanswered goals in that frame. Clititortepened the scoring when Derek Jefferson set TaiiirDeVoir • Colquhoun increased the margin to. 2-0 with an assist by Norris Flynn. .Kingsvilleadded a pair of • their own before, the second period ended to deadlock it at two. Jefferson scored • with just over five minutes remaining to give Clinton. a one goal margin again. Curtis MCCone and • Brown picked up assists on the play. It looked 'like Clinton was going to steal this game but Shawn Renaud spoiled everything with his last minute tally.. When the final buzzer sounded the A's must have thought it was overas they quit skating and checking . in the overtime as Kingsville ran away with it., • On Sunday, Clinton travelled to Kingsville for game two. With their backs to the. wall, the boys came up with a gritty effort. • After a penalty -filled first period the A's led 2-1 on goals by Curtis McCone and Devon Colquhoun. Derek Jefferson and Scott Brown drew assists on the first goal. In the second period scorers were Col- quhoun from Mike Corrie and Norris Flynn, Jefferson from Brown and Jefferson from McCone and Brown. 2Kingsville added one to make the score 5- . In the third, Kingsville's Renaud, who scored all their goals, scored two quick ones to narrow the gap to 5-4. The A's were not to be denied 'as Colquhoun Unleished a hard drive and McCone added his second of the game as Clinton skated off with the 7-4 vic- tory. The third game will be played in Clinton this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. A -large crowd would be appreciated by the A's as they endeavor to advance to the All -Ontario semifiunals.
