Munro reaffirms $8 million program Dr. Lily Munro, Minister of Citizenship and Culture recently confirmed her govern- ment's intention to extend funding to the very successful Computers and Children program to a maximum of $8 million. Originally announced in the 1984 Budget as a $4 million project, Computers and Children has proven to be one of the Ministry's most innovative and successful community-based programs. "Under the initial phase of the project, 56 Computers and Children centres have so far been established in communities of all sizes and in all parts of Ontario," said Dr. Munro during a recent visit to the program's train- ing centre. `:Cabinet's decision to extend funding to the program means that 274 more centres throughout Ontario will receive their computers and related software." . The program's objective is to ensure that • children across this province have equal and adequate access .to computers and related information technologies: • At least two hours of free time perday is being provided to students from Kindergarten to Grade Eight, outside their regular school hours. The remaining time is available to the entire community. , Ministry -trained co-ordinators work with volunteer assistants to ensure the program meets the unique needs of each community, and private sector fund-raising is under way to finance each centre's ongoing operations. The result of these partnerships is entirely self-sufficient centres integrally involved in the development of their communities. Up to 15 microcomputers, colour monitors and software packages are placed in each centre. Tenders for the supply of this equip- ment have been awarded to the Acorn com- puter Corporation, Apple Canada Inc. and Commodore business machines who will each supply 1,000 micro computers, printers and related software to the program. "With approximately 70 per cent of the centres located in rural. areas, this program is advancing computer literacy where it is most needed" added Dr. Munro. "We have received hundreds of letters, both from community-based sponsoring organizations and the users themselves, unanimously ac- claiming the program for the tremendous learning opportunities and incentives it has given them." The program is also providing a number of social and economic benefits to the com- munities including access tojhildren of all ethnic backgrounds, native children, all family income groups as well as access for the handicapped-.

For example, an entire church congregation (250 people) in the Toronto area signed letters in support of a centre being established in their area and ran the summer's computer programs for neighbourhood children: The computers and Children program has also sparked interest in the world communi- ty. The recent World Conference on com- puters in Education in Norfolk Virginia, recognized the program asa leading exam- ple of a broad-based, well administered, computer access program. Learning in- stitutions and research centres from more than a dozen countries -have mrade inquiries about the program and expressed a desire to co-operate and - enhance their own efforts through the Ontario experience. They in- clude the U.S.A., Argentina, Israel, Australia, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Norway and others.
