The idea grew out of a

Eileen Palmer and former
National Hockey League
player Larry Jeffrey. Mr.
Creamer :said the trio isn't
looking to construct 'a
building for the hall of fame
and admitted the criteria for
being selected to the hail of
fame has not been determin-
ed.
"What We have done is
decided to approach county

involvement, but more to use

Major Unemployment InsuranCe
'and employment program changes
to help Canadian workers
The Government of Canada has made
major changes to Unemployment
insurance (U1 ) and employment
programs.
Improved Fishing Benefits
Inland fishermen can now get l f I
benefits. In addition, those paid to all
seasonal fishermen have been improv-
ed. Seasonal fishing benefits can now
he paid between May I and November
5 as well 'as between November 1 and
May 15. If you're a seasonal fisherman
with at least 15 weeks of fishing, your
benefits will now he calculated on
your best 10 weeks of fishing. You can
add your earnings from a cured catch
to your earnings from a fresh catch.
You can now also build a boat for
commercial use without losing your
right to benefits. These changes can
increase benefits for many fishermen.
The number of weeks a fisherman
must work to qualify for 1.11 benefits
remains the same, hut at least 6 of
those weeks must now be in fishing.
New Adoption Benefits
Beginning January 1, 1984, 11 1
benefits will he available to an adop-
tive parent for up to 15 weeks. If it is a
legal adoption, and you are an adoptive
parent who can demonstrate that you
are needed at home, you may qualify
for benefits.
Improved Maternity Benefits
for Working Women
As of January 1, 1984, the LII rules
for pregnant women will become
simpler and more equitable. •
If you are pregnant, you still need
to work 20 weeks to qualify for III
maternity benefits. But now yOuu no
longer have to work at least 10 weeks
around the time of conception. And
you're not prevented from getting
regular 1.1 i benefits in the weeks
around the birth.
The elimination of these rules
make benefits easier to get for about
I00,000 women every year.
Extension of the Variable
Entrance Requirement
The 10 to 14 week variable
entrance requirement has been
retained for another two years.
If you live in a region with high
unemployment, you still need as little
as 10 weeks of insurable employment
to qualify for regular U I benefits. In
low unemployment regions, the period
remains up to 14 weeks.
More Protection with Work
Sharing
The Government of Canada's highly
successful work sharing program has
been extended to May 1984 and given
more funding.
Work sharing is an agreement
between employees and employers,
under which available work is divided
among employees to avoid layoffs. ,
Since the program started, about
3,500 work sharing agreements
were signed, involving over 260,000
workers, to prevent up to 100,000
layoffs.
If you are an employee involved in
work sharing, you receive your regular
wages for days worked, and U I
benefits for days not worked.
New Work Sharing for Training
and Job Placement
Pilot projects will be set tip to
allow work sharing for up to 50 weeks
when employees could be laid off
permanently. As an employee on work
sharing in this situation, you have the
opportunity to benefit from placement
services and improve your job pros -
Canada
pests, without affecting your eligi-
bility for regular l! I benefits.
Program improvements will also
allow you to take advantage of training
opportunities on days when you are
not working. While on work sharing,
you could take part-time courses at
your workplace or in a training
institution.
. And these new features help
employers avoid layoffs while adjusting
to structural and technological change.
Improved Training Allowances
for Women
More`money for Canada's National
Training Program during 1983-84
means more unemployed worker's,,
especially women, can learn the skills
of the future.
If you aren't eligible for l' 1
benefits while you train, you can get
training allowances to help cover
living and training expenses. Starting
September 1, 1983, they are going up •
and dependent care allowances will
increase by much as 100 percent or
more. The weekly rate is up from $20
to $50 for one child, $35 to S80 for
two and $65 to 8130 for five children.
Improved Training in New
Skills for Women
More women will be trained for
careers in the new technologies than
ever before. The seats reserved for
them on training courses for non-
traditional jobs will increase sub-
stantially. A new feature of the Skills
Growth Fund means women's groups
can apply for up to $50,000 to develop
proposals to set up training courses for
women.

that if plaque was piaiin
the court house, a duplicate
could be placed in the
athlete's home community.
"No doubt some of you are
already thinking that this is
another ploy by. the Town of
Goderich to cash in on
something. That's wrong,"
Mr. Creamer told county
council. "All we want is a
vehicle to let these athletes,
or their families, know. that
the county recognizes 'what
they've done and that the
county is proud of their ac-
complishments."
Mr. Creamer indicated
that Mayor Palmer had ob-
tained the constitution and
bylaws of the Glengarry
Sports Hall of Fame which
could be used as a
framework for Huron's.
Mr. Creamer said the list
of Huron County athletes
goes on and on.
