Council will present brief to minister
The ball is now in they town's w:ourt as
officials push for the development of a new
harbour facility north of Domtar's mine
operation.
For several months, town officials and
major users of the harbour, have been
petitioning the federal governmentto
undertake extensive improvements to the
harbour facility and create a new seaway
depth harbour adjacent to the Domtar
SiftoSaltmine.
Transport Canada Minister, Lloyd
Ax-Northy told council in a letter that the
federal government has commissioned
preliminary engineering and design
studies at a cost of $123,000 over the next
year. "Final project approval is, however,
contingent upon demonstration of user
commitment," the letter said.
Council now recognizes that the town,
industrial• concerns at the harbour and
user groups must formulate a com-
prehensive brief demonstrating a need for
the million dollar improvements. Mayor
Eileen Palmer told council that the town
will have to sell the government on the
project.
"The users are committed. A brief will
be presented to council next week and we
hope to make a presentation to Mr.
Ax worthy in the near future," she said.
"We must show a commitment that can
manifest the need of the existing harbour
and a new one."
A feasibility study examining the port
requirements of the Bruce Energy Centre
completed in February 1983 for Transport
Canada and the Ontario Ministry ,of
Transportation and Communication,
recommended that the port of Goderich
was the most suitable location to expend
funds for harbour development.
Expansion of the port and creation of a
new port north of the mine would cost ,in
excess of $12 million. However, Goderich
is already the largest revenue producing
port of 37 ports under federal jurisdiction
in Ontario.
If the harbour is dredged to seaway
depth, , it would permit Domtar and
Goderich Elevator and Transit Company
to load vessels to capacity and ship more
products from the port. Grain shipments
from Goderich could double if ships could
be loaded to capacity.
If the .govertu hent decides to proceed
with expansion of the harbour, Domtar
maY'proceed with the construction of a
new evaporator plant beside the mine. The
$25 million expansion and construction
would result in additional jobs.
Dredging the existing harbour to seaway
depth, if the bed allows, or creation of a
new harbour north of the existing mine, is
a necessity tothe salt mining company if
expansion plans are to proceed. Sub-
sequent to the sinking of a third shaft at a
cost of $35 million, production is expected
to triple over a three-year period.
Town officials met with users and
Transport Canada personnel last Friday
and a brief will be presented to council
Monday. When the brief is finalized, it will
be presented to Axeworthy for con-
sideration.
Remembrance Dayservice is still significant
• from page 1
November 1921, the first poppies were
distributed in Canada.
After the formation of- the Royal
Canadian Legion in 1925, its members
assumed responsibility for distribution.
Now more than 1,500 branches are still
doing the job during the week before
Remeinbrance Day.
In 1982, more than 12 million poppies
were distributed, raising more than $3
million. During the 1930s, the production of
poppies employed many handicapped
veterans when unemployment was high.

government benefits were available.
In the 1980s, disabled veterans and their
dependants still make poppies, but the
funds raised supply a much broader range
of community services such as meals -on -
wheels, day care centres for seniors,
transportation for veterans and money for
Legion Service Bureaus.
The money is still vital as Canada has
more than 700,000 veterans surviving from
the 1.6 million who enlisted during the
First and Second World War and the
Korean conflict.

The sale of poppies is important not only
in providing social assistance for those
who need it, but also, the poppy serves as a
significant reminder of those who fought
