Stanley seniors

Zurich asked Stanley township
council at its meeting Tuesday
• if any Stanley residents wish to
join their group. The provincial
government pays 92 1/2 per
cent of the group's expenses
and the village of Zurich pays
the other 7 1/2 per cent. If
any Stanley residents take ad-
vantage °of Zurich's offer, the
Stanley council has agreed to
pay a corresponding portion
of the villages' 7 1/2 per cent.
Council received an applica-
tion from the proprietor of the
Wildwood motel just south of
Bayfield for approval to estab-
lish a 50 unit trailor park with
complete facilities behind the
motel. Council has made no
decision on this request as yet.

shoreline properties protection
act were accepted by Stanley

the fact their residents use the
Zurich facilities in large num-
. bers, have not done so and it

tute a non-resident surcharge of
$15 per person for anyone
participating in any recreational
programs using the Zurich
