f mitted that did seem a little long
to wait, he said the ministry
normally waits to be invited by
either the municipality or the
,local housing authority before
scheduling an official opening.
In this case the invitation was
extended by the Huron County
Housing Authority, which looks
after the administration and
maintenance of public housing in
the county. Chairman Harold
Knisley, who attended, the
opening, explained there had
been some problems at the start
which delayed the authority
taking over the apartments from
the builder and postponed the
ceremony.
Ke added that his group is. itself

took this long to get around to
scheduling the opening. The
ceremony was intended to mark
the official opening of all seniors'
housing in Wingham, he noted,
some of which has been standing
for 15 years without ever having
been officially opened.
The program featured short
speeches by Wingham Mayor
William Walden, Deputy Reeve
Harold Wild representing the
county, Huron -Bruce MPP
Murray Gaunt, Herman Poser of
Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corporation, and William
Hodgson, parliamentary
assistant to Ontario Housing
Minister Claude Bennett, and a
prayer of dedication by Rev. A. J.
Sonderup.
All speakers paid tribute to the
subsidized housing program for
seniors, which has seen nearly
35,000 apartment units con-
, structed across the province. An
additional 2,000 units are in the
Planning stage or under con-
struction.
Nearly 5o,000 family units have
also been constructed under
Ontario Housing Corporation
management.
The four seniors' apartment
buildings currently in Wingham
provide a total of 64 units, and an
additional 20 units are planned
for construction next year.
Mayor Walden used the occasion
to put in a plug for the proposal to
build the apartments in a section
of Cruickshank Park which the
town has agreed to sell. He said
his interest in the project is not
just as mayor but as a citizen of
the town, and he intends to push it
through if possible.
The matter is currently before
theOntario Municipal Board,
.awaiting a hearing on objections
to the rezoning of the park.
Following the speeches Mr.
Poser presented a Canadian flag
on a stand to the representative
from each of the four apartment
buildings and Mr. Hodgson gave
each building a teapot. Accepting
for the residents were Mrs. Clara
Fitch, Mrs. Agnes Elliott, Mrs.
Lillian Newman and Mrs. Olive
Lewis.
The ceremony then continued
with the ribbon -cutting, in which
the various government and
agency representatives joined
with Mrs. Hazel Heughan and
Jim Fitch, representing the
residents, to snip a wide, blue
ribbon with pairs of ceremonial
scissors. The scissors, in leather
cases emblazoned with the On-
tario crest, were distributed as
souvenirs, as were pieces of the
ribbon, also bearing the

The event concluded with
refreshments prepared by
residents from the four seniors'
apartments.
Mr. Harding said an average of
about 40 such official openings
are held each year by housing
ministry staff. The openings are
becoming more popular, he
added, noting they provide a

The A unit apartment building
at 45 Alfred Street was built in
1975 at a cost of iG4;r.119. The
Ontario Housing Corporation
borrowed 90 per cent of the
money from the CMHC and 10 per
cent from the treasurer of On-
