MNR announces fisheries public meeting
CLINTON - The Wingham District of the
Ministry of Natural Resources is holding a
public meeting to discuss the District
Fisheries Management Plan on April 21 at
7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, 95
Kirk Street, Clinton.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide -
the public with the opportunity to discuss
this draft plan.
"The plan is the culmination of a process
which examined the production capabilities
of the fisheries resource, the demand placed
upon it by users and the factors which have
prevented full resource benefit from being
realized," said District Biologist Mike
MVlalhiot. "Targets were identified as a
means of measuring progress in the
management of the resource. The target for
angling opportunities by the year 2000 in-
cludes an increase, over current use, of 15
per cent for warm water species and 73 per
cent for cold water species," he added.
Some of the significant management pro-
grams which will be implemented include:
• efforts will be increased to involve the
public in the management of fisheries;
• greater emphasis will be placed on protec-
ting fish habitat when alterations to water-
courses are requested (ex.drainage works,
stream crossings, dam construction, etc.) ;
• 400,000 lake trout or lake trout hybrid will
be planted annually in the Point Clarke area
of Lake Huron beginning in 1990 if hatchery
supplies are available;
• 60,000 yearling rainbow trout will be
planted annually in cold water tributaries of
Lake Huron;
• 15,000 yearling brook trout will be planted
annually in cold water streams; '
• stream rehabilitation programs will be ex-
panded and the public will be encouraged to
adopt creeks and undertake their own
projects.
Some of the options which received
serious consideration but which were re-
jected included:
• establishing fly fishing only and no -kill
sections;,
• producing chinook salmon in provincial
hatcheries for stocking in Lake Huron;
• continuing to stock catchable size trout
(put @nd take) in ponds where other trout
fishing opportunities are available nearby.
"We all have a stake in Ontario's
fisheries," said Acting District Manager
Harry Orr. "I encourage everyone who is in -

OFAH suspicious of
Reagan's commitment
Officials of Ontario's largest conservation
organization, the Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters 1 OFAH) have express-
ed cautious optimism over President
Reagan's apparent agreement to consider
signing an international acid ram
agreement.
On April 6 President Reagan stated that
the problem of acid rain would be dealt with
by an agreement between Canada and the
United States building on the tradition of
bilateral international water pollution
agreements.
Lance Males, Provincial Coordinator of
Fish and Wildlife Services for the OFAH
pointed out "Lille Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreement of 1978 became a
'toothless tiger' when the U.S. administra-
tion voiced a commitment to solve the pro-
blem of Great Lakes pollution, yet neglected
to approve the funning necessary to carry it
out". On the other hand, the 1972 boundary
water agreements were highly successful in
reducing the destructive dumping of
phosphorous into the Great Lakes. Canada
and the U.S. each committed $7 billion,
thereby demonstrating both the political
will and financial capability to solve the
problem.
One of North America's first researchers
of the acid rain problem is University of
Toronto Professor Dr. Harold Harvey, who
now serves as an advisor to the OFAH on
acid rain and fisheries matters.
Acid rain is caused by industrial emis-
sions and automobile exhausts mixing with
water vapour in the atmosphere and falling
back to earth. Acid rain is already known to
threaten 180,000 lakes in eastern Canada,
and is affecting the health of Canadians and
their way of life.
Facts and figures about
Ontario's municipalities
There are a number of interesting facts
and figures concerning the communities of
Ontario that rarely come to light. What bet-
ter time to learn about them than as we
prepare to celebrate Local Government
Week from April 13 to 17.
For instance, the 839 municipalities in the
province range in size from Metropolitan
Toronto, with over 2 million residents, to
Cockburn island Township which has only
two permanent residents.
Municipal governments in Ontario in-
clude: t wnships, villages, towns, separated
towns, ci ' s, counties, Metropolitan Toron-
to, region the District Municipality of
Muskoka, i provement districts and police
villages.
About 600 municipalities in the province
have fewer than 5,000 residents. However,
two-thirds of Ontario's population is con-
tained in 49 cities and one bbrough.
Tow nsh ps, villages and towns comprise
almost 90 per cent of all the municipalities
in Ontario,yet they contain only one-third of
the population.
Municipalitiesusually provide local ser-
vice and facilities such as garbage collec-
tion, fire and police protection, streets and
sidewalks, planning and cultural and
recreational facilities.

generally, and the strategies for fisheries
management locally, to attend this upcom-
ing meeting and make their concerns
known."

t Isere are well over 2,000 appointed local
governing bodies, most commonly called
boards and commissions. More than 70
types of boards and commissions have been
identified by a number of studies.
The primary difference between a
municipal council and other local bodies is
that only councils can legislate and make
laws. They are elected and are responsible
for a wide variety of functions and services.
In the most recent municipal election,
held in November 1985, there were 4,850
municipal representatives elected as well as
2,104 school trustees to serve 186 school
boards.
Total local government spending is in the
range of $18 -billion annually, with about half
the funds going for municipal goods and ser-
vices and the other half for education.
There are roughly 105,000 permanent full-
time ,employees working for municipalities
across the province.
Of the 839 municipalities in Ontario, more
than 600 are members of the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), a non-
partisan organization which promotes the
value and stature of municipal government
in the province.

Week, April 13 to 17, to learn more about the
