"To the best of my knowledge this is the first time in Ontario that a government has set down abroad strategic plan to meet the needs of our seniors now and in the future," said Mr. Van Horne, adding in the past services for the elderly in Ontario evolved in a piecemeal fashion, without an overall plan. Mr. Van Horne explained that the overriding consideration in producing the White Paper was the development of a comprehensive system of services to enable seniors to live active and independent lives in their own communities, in their own homes. "By doing this we will, in turn, prevent unnecessary and inappropriate institutionali- zation," said the Minister. The White Paper was developed in • co-operation and consultation wit.. _ other provincial ministers as well as with at an Ontario university. •Services d individuals from across the m Senior Citizens' Affairs Minister Ron Van for those elderly who cannot continue to live Horne has tabled a White Paper which independently in the community by rational - establishes the directions the province will program in d improving hothe mes and homes for the aged; and by regulating the quality of care in rest homes. To introduce comprehensive planning and management at both the provincial and local level. "Some of these strategies are complex and will require considerably more work to implement. Others, however, can be acted upon immediately," said Mr. Van Horne. Accordingly, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Colleges and Universities; and the Minister of Community and Social Services announced co-operative initiatives in direct support of the White Paper. `!'hese initiatives represent an expenditure of $13.5 million this fiscal year and an annual expenditure of over $30 million. Minister of Colleges and Universities Gregory Sorbara announced establishment of a multi-desciplinary department of geriatrics rou province. It is the first in a series of papers dealing with services for the elderly. The broad plan, outlined in the White Paper, is based on five major strategies. Each has a number of components. Those key strategies are: To improve the health and functional status of seniors by placing more emphasis on health promotion and illness prevention; enhancing education and training in geri- atrics, ensuring an adequate supply of geriatric specialists; and by supporting more centres and encourage the development o ised to aging and thea ed.Iffernew"t}O1ntAuriitgt health centres; Primarily in ybYlexiali de g and improv- cortcerned.with the elderly. in the community by cand and improv- ing community services; and by improving For his part the Minister for Senior, accessibility and delivery of community Citizens' Affairs will continue policytievelop- services through a single access or a ment in selected areas of health and social "one -stop -shopping" approach. services.

"Begin ntng June 9, senior citizens will pay half the regular camping fees on FYldays and Saturdays, and no charge from Sunday to Thursday," Mr. Kerrie said. "We feel this is appropriate due to the late notice given for 1986 changes to park fees." Senior citizens have traditionally paid full camping fees on weekends and no camping fees during the week. Earlier this year the ministry announced that camping fees for seniors were changed to half rate all week. "The further reduction announced recent- ly for 1986 will be welcomed by all seniors in Ontario who enjoy camping in our provincial parks." Mr. Kerrio said. Cull us about your avant McBride Bros.
