Rehabilitation of old
buildings important:Davis
The Ontario government
has taken the first step
toward establishing a rehab-
ilitation code to facilitate
renewal activities across the
province, Premier William
Davis announced recently.
Davis told more than 1A00
delegates at an international
forum in Toronto on com-
munity -renewal that a group
is being set up to study all
aspects of a rehabilitation
code or guidelines for reno-
vation and rehabilitation act-
ivities.
The group will consist of
provincial and municipal
officials and representatives
from professional associ-
ations and industry.
Davis said the renewal
industry in Ontario was
responsible for more than Si
billion in activity last year
and, if it is properly devel-
oped and encouraged, it
'could generate as much as 53
billion in construction an-
nually.

other organizations, an-

Delegates to the forum,
largest of its type ever to be
held in Canada, were repeat-
edly reminded that renewal
and rehabilitation of all types
--particularly in residential
'and retail areas --is to be the
major construction field of
activity in the 1980s.
Collaborative planning is
the unifying theme of the
new provincial initiative to
make better use of Ontario's,
resources.
"It is our invitation to
other ministries, municipal-
ities and the private sector to
work together with us in
renewing Ontario's com-
munities," Bennett said.

TRANSPORTATION STUDY
The Ministry is taking a
prominent role in the study
to ensure that a viable
network is in place to best
suit the transportation needs
of this area tif,the Province,
once the fact finding stage of
the study is complete. The
Mnistry officials intend to
hold several informal public
meetings in the area. This
will enable the Ministry to
present the findings of the
-study-and receive -comments
from Iocal interested parties
and municipal councils.
Members of the Bruce
Study team welcome com-
ments, views and recom-
mendations from'all interest-
ed citizens, municipalities
and indpotries in the area.
Comments should be direct-
ed to: Mr. George Gera,
Economic Policy Office,
Isfinistry of Transportation
and Communications, 1201
Wilson Avenue, Downsview,
Ontario. M3M 1J8. These
comments should reach Mr.
Gera prior to July 31, 1980.
I hope that individual
citizens, groups and govern-
ment representatives of the
Huron Middlesex Riding will
take this opportunity to agsist
members of the study group
in determining the future
freight rail needs of mid-
western Ontario.
An Ontario Task Force on
Provincial Rail Policy has
also been established to
examine in depth the future,
role ofrail in the Province's
integraterl transportation
system. Its goal is to provide
and to examine the existing
systm identifying changes
required for the effective
moveMent of people and
goods as a means of enhanc-
ing the social and economic
develOPment of Ontario. The
global perSpeetive of this
undertaking is in contrast to
the specific perspective of
the Bruce Study.
