More access for disabled
The first deadline for community
organizations applying for grants from the
Access Fund is December 31, 1987, Remo
Mancini, Ontario Minister Responsible for
Disabled Persons and Mavis Wilson,
Minister Responsible for Senior Citizens Af-
fairs, announced.
The $15 -million Access Fund provides
matching grants of up to $50,000 to com-
munity organizations for renovations to
their premises that improve physical access
for disabled persons and senior citizens. Ex-
amples of such renovations include ramps,
elevators, grab bars, alert and emergency
systems, signs that are three-dimensional
or in braille and changes to structural
features, such as widening of doors.
"Ensuring that community facilities are
physically accessible to disabled persons is
one of my top priorities," said Mr. Mancini.
"It is part of the Ontario government's drive
to promote the full participation of disabled
persons in Ontario life."
"I know that many senior citizens'
organizations will welcome this funding,"
said Mrs. Wilson. "Many more social and
recreational opportunities for senior
citizens will be opened up when their com-
munity facilities are physically accessible."
The Access Fund, which will provide
$15 -million over three years for eligible
renovations, is a joint program of the Office
for Disabled Persons and the Office for
Senior Citizens' Affair's. After the December
31, 1987 deadline, there will be four more
deadlines - April 1, 1988; October 1, 1988;
April 1, 1989; and October 1, 1989.
Community organizations must con-
tribute an amount equal to the Access Fund
grant. That sum should come from sources
other than the federal or provincial
governments.
To be eligible for an Access Fund grant,
an organization must be private, non-profit
and must have been incorporated. for at
least a year prior to applying. Examples of
d seniors
appropriate organizations include service
clubs, senior citizens' centres and consumer
and religious groups. Municipally -
sponsored senior citizens' and disabled per-
sons' centres are also eligible.
The Access Fund will help pay for such
renovation costs as professional fees for ar-
chitects, engineers and consultants; permit
and municipal inspector fees; construction
costs including demolition, labor, materials
and insurance; and all adjustments to per-
manent furnishings and equipment to make
them physically accessible (including ad-
justments to heating, ventilating and air
conditioning equipment, security devices
and lighting systems) .

BUILDING IN THE SPRING...?
PEOPLE WHO DON'T NAIL DOWN
A PRICE bEFORE LYGET CONSIRUCTION...
It's not surprising that
the average builder hates to
commit to a price before
construction begins. There
can be weather
delays.
Material
costs can
suddenly
increase.
Any number
of things can go
wrong. A.s a result,
the buyer usually gets
nailed. Does that mean you
should forget about a new
house? No. It simply means
you've got another very
good reason to look into
Royal Homes.
Royal Homes are
built inside — out of the
weather. In a controlled
construction environment.
And we know exactly
what our materials will cost.
We know exactly what our
labor will cost. And, best of
all, you know exactly what
your home will cost. Before
