We have had a sneak preview of what the Town and Townships would , like to see. The final report should be available in February, Interest has been evident for more arts, cultural and educational programs. Programs offered by Conestoga College are now available in Wingham in cooperation with the Wingham Recreation De- partment. In addition, a group of interested citizens met with representatives from the Ministry of Cul- ture and Communication, and Ontario Arts Council to discuss the arts and cultural needs of Wingham and area. A steering committee was formed from this meeting which will be instrumental in the devel- opment of the arts within our community. These are only -a couple examples of what is happening to provide Wingham and area residents with a well rounded recreation service that meets the needs and interests of the whole community. Communication is extremely important in devel- oping solid recreation programs. If you have any suggestions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact the Recreation Department. The por to communication is always open.
