stallation of the new lighting
system in the Community Centre
was approved for payment by the
Recreation Parks an Community
Centre board of the village of

The actual cost of the system
was $6,295.76, $200 under the
estimate and in addition included
the purchase and installation of
six fluorescent fixtures for
emergency lighting, additional
outlets at midpoint on both sides
of the arena for supplementary
lighting if required for special
events and the general tidying up
of the total wiring system, all of

original plans. The works was
done by Leo's Plumbing, Heating

Leo Meidinger informed the
community centre board the total
estimatedcost of installing a 600
amp service to the building with
overhead feed -in would be $2,500
plus the hydro inspection fee. The
Board would like to see un-
derground feed -in, however this
would cost about $15 per foot
extra for the footage from the
building to the pole and it was
decided to delay installation until
discussions could be held with the
hydro and water committee of
the village regarding cost-
sharing.
Since the structural repairs
over the community centre
auditorium have left the ceiling
poorly insulated it was decided
by the board to purchase suf-
ficient insulation to cover the
present batts. This is estimated
to cost about $1,000.
The board has been ex-
periencing problems 'with water
pipes freezing under the kitchen

This is what Ont

is doing to make certain

We have a law in Ontario which permits any pregnant
woman, married or not, to take a 17 -week unpaid leave of
abpence from work to have her baby. This law covers part-time
as well as full-time employees, provided that they have been
working for the same employer for at least 63 weeks before the
expected date of birth.
When she returns to work, the new mother is guaranteed
the right to her former position or to a comparable
position with no loss of seniority or benefits at the same salary.
Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an employee
from being dismissed for valid reasons not connected
with pregnancy, but pregnancy alone cannot be the cause
of dismissal where an employee is eligible for leave.
An expectant mother is required to give two weeks'
notice in writing of the day she intends to leave. She is
entitled to begin her leave any time within 11 weeks
before the baby's birth but she must take at least six
weeks of her leave afterwards. If the employer wishes the
employee to begin her leave before she wants to do so,
the employer must prove that she is unable to perform
her normal duties adequately.
The employee is eligible for Unemployment Insurance
benefits during her pregnancy leave (even if she does not
intend to resume work when her leave expires) if she had
at least 20 weeks of ensured employment during the year
before the birth. At least ten of the 20 weeks should have
fallen between the 30th and the 50th weeks before the
birth.

leave or other labour legislation of interest to working
women, write to:
