Ontario farm -start program is nearly full By Jack Riddell The Ontario Farm -Start program offer- ing assistance to new farmers is nearing full enrolment. The program was introduced in January to help 2,300 new farmers get into business over the next five years. Interest in the program has surpassed our expectations. Some 3,100 applications have been receiv- ed. The program will continue to accept applications until it reaches the 3,300 mark. and then will take another 500 applications on a waiting list. Should any people in the pre -enrolment group drop out, those on the waiting list will be considered in the order their applications were received by the ministry. The $90 million program offers two op- tions for new farmers - to apply for im- mediate enrolment and begin receiving benefits or to pre -register for the program for up to three years in advance of receiv- ing benefits to allow time to meet all of the criteria. The response to this program shows there is optimism about the future of agriculture, particularly from our young people choosing a career in agriculture. I've been impressed with the high calibre of those being accepted into the program. The Ontario Farm -Start program pro- vides a total of $38,000 in grants over seven years with an initial grant of $11,000 and declining grants in the following years. Employment -Disadvantaged Youth Get Financial help Funding of more than $100,000 for the WoodGreen Employment Services Centre in Toronto has been announced by Skills Development Minister Alvin Curling. As one of the many community-based employment counselling centres operating across the province, the WoodGreen cen- tre offers job search skills, training and employment counselling to employment - disadvantaged youth. In 1987, over 28,000 young people used the services of youth employment counselling centres across the province. The centres raise money from the com- munity and the monies raised are then matched by funds from the Ministry of Skills Development. "This Youth Employment Counselling Centre plays an important role in helping young people in the area find their way in- to the workforce and become contributing members of society," Mr. Curling said. "Local initiative and knowledge are vital to the success of projects that im- prove job skills and work opportunities for our young people," Mr. Curling added, congratulating the community on its support. Grants To The Riding The Ministry of Municipal Affairs have recently announced PRIDE grants to two towns in Huron. The town of Goderich will receive $200,000 and the village of Blyth, $150,000. The Claybird Gun Club in Exeter has received a Wintario Detelopment Grant in the amount of $3,070 to enable them to pur- chase equipment for trap shooting. The town of Goderich is receiving a $13,109 grant from the Ministry of Energy under the Municipal Oil Conversion Energy Conservation Program, for an oil conversion project in the community centre.
