Citizenship and Culture has established a new program, Preserv- ing Ontario's Architecture, which is designed to stimulate and support the con- servation of the province's architectural heritage. This new program has two major components: EDUCATION AND TECHNICIAL SUPPORT In order to support the community- based approach of Preserving Ontario's Architecture, a strong program of educa- tion and technical suport has been developed. The purpose of such a program is twofold: to raise the quality of architec- tural conservation projects and to develop conservation expertise within communities. To accomplish these objectives, the pro- gram will provide: technical advice, sup- port and will, to LACAC members, municipal officials and members of heritage organizations involved in ad- ministering preservation grants programs such • as Designated Property Grants, Revolving Heritage Funds and,Conserva- tion District Funds. Also, adviceand train- ing to property owners, heritage. groups, tradespeople and building professionals in the execution of heritage conservation pro- jects, and in the care .and maintenance of ' heritage buildings. FINANCIAL SUPPORT Preserving Ontario's Architecture in- cludes four grant programs: Three of these 'will 'be administered within communities, through transfer payments from the Ministry . of Citizenship and Culture to municipalities or appropriate. heritage organizations. The tourth program will be administered directly by the Ministry. Designated Property Grants have been established to enable municipalities to assist in the conservation of properties designated' under the Ontario Heritage Act. Grants to a miximum of $3,000 per year are available through municipalities participating in the program, but must be matched on a 50-50 basis by the property owner in Southern Ontario, or a 13 - 23 basis in Norther Ontario ( with the grant paying 23 of the eligible costs, to the $3,000 maximum ) . The grants are to assist with the conser- vation of restoration of elements specified in the reasons for designation of the pro- • perty. Eligible projects will be defined in the Designated Property Grant Guidelines provided by the Ministry. The administration of these grants will be as follows: - property owners will apply to a municipality prior to undertaking any work; - the municipality's representatives LACAC and/or Clerk's office), will work with owners to ensure the eligibility and • acceptability of projects; - upon satisfactory completion of the work, the municipality will pay t'he grant to the owners; -twice a year, the municipality will submit claims to the Ministry for grants paid out. For municipalities. with LACACs which demonstrated success in administering Designated Property Grants, the Ministry will make lump -sum transfer payments at the beginning of the fiscal year.

These municipalities will submit claim forms at the middle and end of the fiscal year, reporting on the grants whieh have been paid. The eligibi 'ty' guidelines and the administration of the grants with property owners will remain the same as for other municipalities. REVOLVING HERITAGE FUNDS Seed money will be provided fur municipalities or non-profit heritage cur- porations wanting to establish a Revolving Heritage Fund, to undertake and support • architectural conservation projects within the community. A portion of the funding will be provided by the Preserving On- tario's Architecture program, with the re- mainder being raised from local sources. The monies will be used' to establish - revolving funds for the purpose of in- vesting in architectural conservation pro- jects that have the potential of returning money to the Fund. Activities miklit in- clude loans or loan guarantees for work on designated properties or, in the case of non-profit corporations, the acquisition. conservation and resale of heritage pro- perties. Revolving Heritage Funds MAY NOT BE USED to provide grants.' Provincial contributions to such Revolv- ing Heritage Funds° will be made on the basis 3f a fixed funding ratie, to a max- imum provincial payment per fund per year of $250,000, and a maximum overall provincial contribution of $1,000,000 per community. Funding from the province in any one year may, however, be restricted by the availability of funds. • This program will help to establish local- ly administered Conservation District 'Funds, created by joint contributions from the province and municipalities, to assist in the conservation and enhancement of Heritage Conservation, Districts. A Heritage.Conservation District is an area' designated raider Part -V of the Ontario Heritage Act in ' recognition of its par- ticular architectural or historic character. COMMERCIAL REHABILITATION, Commercial Rehabilitation Grants are available for the conservation of privately - owned 'commercial and industrial proper - 'ties that have been designated under the 30 Ontario Heritage Act and that will be ussett for commercial, industrial ormultiple unit 'residential purposes'. Grants are made on a discretionary basis up'to a max - imam of 50% of eligible costs and are ad- ministered directly by the Ministry *of Citizenship and Culture. The maximuni grant per project is $150,000. Applications from- Northern Ontario will receive con- sideration for a higher percentage of eligi- ble costs, to the same maximum grant. To be eligible for a' grant, a building must have 'been constructed for comrrier- cial. or industrial purposes, or at least part of it must have been in such use for at least 50 years. Also, each project must involve a minimum expenditure of $15.000 on eligi- ble heritage items. Eligible heritage items include any work that conserves or restores the historic fabric of a building • .( e.g. structural repairs; repair -of founda tions, walls or roofs; conservation or restoration of original materiels: and tbe repair ' or reconstruction of original elements such as doors, . windows and decorative trim ). These grants will be given .on condition that a heritage easement be donated to the municipality. An easement . is a legal agreement registered on a property's title and designed to protect the heritage features of the property. Program formed for is ersons reliant on alcohol • On a day when a provincial court iuilgl' delayed sentencing a man convicted of im- paired driving so that he could attend Blue Jay games. a group of men serving weekend sentences for impaired driving and/or other alcohol/drug related charges, were presen- ting a brief to the Government of Ontario asking for stiffer penalties. "A 90 day weekend sentence following my third conviction for impaired driving was a mere slap on the wrist for tie. We want stif- ' fer penalties; we don't want to hurt anyone ...." says Brian Wells, a participant in the Mimico Alcohol and Drug Education i MADE) program. Written by the inmates themselves. the brief is their attempt to share with the Premier of Ontario the insights they have developed in the program and coming out of their own addictions and criminal behavior. The Hon. Monte Kwinter.�ccepted the brief on behalf of the Premier corrunenting on the uniqueness of a brief prepared by the. of - renders themselves. MADE is an educational program of Alcohol and Drug Concerns; Inc. which was developed specifically for individuals whose crime was influenced by a dependency on drugs and/or alcohol. It represents a form of diversionary sentencing which offers weekend confinement in an educational rather than correctional setting, Par- ticipants in the programme are referred by the Mitnico Correctional Institution. MADE operative since September. 1985, consists, of a six week course which provides factual in- formation about the psychological, sot'ial and legal aspects of drug and alcohol misuse combined with opportunities for par- ticipants to discuss their own behavior and problems with others in the group. Skillful leaders assist participants to develop in- sight into their own anti -social behavior and maximize on opportunities to build self- esteem. Approximately 200 individuals are referred to the program each year. Alcohol and Drug Concern, Inc. is a non- profit organization involved in preventive education. The principal activities are educational programmes and social action. Its Charter, provincial since 1934, will become national in 1987. 4
