Y ours truly, Katherine Ministry wants to reduce the, number of injuries An allocation of $1.4 million, announced today by the Honourable John Eakins, On- tario Minister of Tourism and. Recreation, will be used toward a program designed to reduce injuries in sports and fitness. A number of initiatives Will be carried --gout-tfvj':tlie next 15 months and will be supported with amendments to the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation Act. • The amendments will- empower the Minister of Tourism and Recreation to act in the public interest on safety matters in sports and fitness, and permit theMinister to intervene, if necessary, to prohibit the use of an unsafe sport or fitness facility, or to order an amateur sport or fitness association to cease unsafe activities. The amendments and the program in- itiatives are in response to public concern about the increasing number of injuries resulting from participation in amateur sports and fitness programs. A number of safety priorities were identified by the -Ministry and the Sports Medicine and Sport Safety Advisory Board. • • Part of the new program will specifical- ly address the safety issue in amateur hockey. The Ministry will •work with .the Hockey Development Centre for Ontario to create a single governing body for the sport aimed at providing uniformity in policy, coaching and instructional pro- grams at a .provincial level. Other steps involving amateur hockey include improvements in the recruitment, training and supervision of hockey referees, and, providing arenas with breakaway hockey nets. on 'a cost -shared basis. Efforts will also be directed toward revitalizing a •hockey training program emphasizing the prevention of injury and ensuring proper care through skilled team trainers and therapists. A standard education and training pro- gram will be -developed for ,trainers, coaches and ' therapists in all amateur sports, supported by specific cost -shared grants for training clinics. The Ministry has also moved to make improvements in the fitness. industry, which will include establishing safety stan- dards for operations, maintenance and equipment, and•standards for the training and job qualifications of professional fitness employees. As well, the Ministry will be soliciting corporate sponsors to participate in a• new fitness across the province. The Ministry's overall sports and fitness safety program will also be .expanded in 1987-88 to develop a research data base on injury and its prevention in sports and fitness. Sports identified as having a history of preventable injuries will have' grants programs made available to ensure future safety' for participants. "Participation in amateur sports and. 'fitness by Ontarians is increasing rapid- • ly." said Eakins, "My aim is to make sure that the enthusiasm continues with safety andinjury prevention a top priority."

Drugs: a community problem from page 1A You've made the initial step by coming here now the second step is to take one step furher regarding drug enforcment," Benn said. Plamondon noted that education and prevention can be most effectively im- plemented in the community by communi- ty groups working together. 'You can do a lot together but not a lot individually," -he said: - • • He said discussions should be held bet- ween community groups'and local experts before deciding, how to proceed, with a drug awareness and prevention program. He suggested organizing parent -peer groups in, which parents would find out behaviour prtterns among children. He explained to the parents in the 'audience that signs of children being on drugs in- cluded changes in their friends, personal habits, school marks and their personality. Plamondon noted that a drug awareness program was being offered in the elemen- tary school system in the counties of Mid- dlesex and Oxford. "Each step you take the problems will change. Each year the dru-g problem changes and you have to acknowledge that fact," " he said. T It is through seminars, such as the one held last week, that these men hope to make citizens aware of the drug problem in their community and 'hopefully en- courage them to fight back against the problem.
