Making the announcement on behalf of Minister of Education Chris Ward, Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron, said the $8,838,000 which will go to the Huron Board of Educa- tion and to the Huron -Perth Separate School Board, is part of $1.1 billion that will be spent across the province on school construction over the next three years. It is part of the largest school building boom in Canadian history, and one of the greatest construction undertakings in Ontario since the Second World War. The Huron -Perth Separate School Board will receive $8.27 million to build a new high school in Stratford.

Overall, 455 projects will be undertaken in communities across the province, creating 74,169 new pupil places. A total of 73 elemen- tary schools and 17 secondary schools will be built. The province will provide $662 million in capital grants to school boards for growth, renovation, replacement and upgrading projects, as part of its three-year capital expenditure program, including in - year commitments of $85 million previously announced, which will create school con- struction projects valued at $142 million. While responding to growth remains a priority this year, the Ministry is also pro- vicung tor extensive renovation, repairs, upgrading and improvements. Projects to renovate, repair, upgrade and improve schools have a total value of $139 million, and are being undertaken at 200 schools. Since taking office in 1985, the Peterson government says it has found it necessary to attack the backlog of school accommodation needs in the province. This recently an- nounced increase in funding brings the spen- ding commitment in school capital to nearly eight times the level of the 1984 commitment. The average rate of provincial support for the capital program will be 60 per cent. The average rate of provincial support for renovation, repair, upgrading and im- provements will be 75 per cent.

Gotta ' Course TE -EMT FARM ■ County delegated approval powers Huron County #13 Bayfield Clinton Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron, has an- nounced that effective May 1, 1989 Huron County will be delegated certain planning approval powers by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. "I am pleased to see the initiative displayed by our County in being only the second in the province to request and receive their ap,Ival authorities," said Mr. Riddell, o TtI of Municipal Affairs Minister John Eakins. The powers relate to plans for subdivi- sion and condominium, road closing and part. lot control by-laws. In addition, municipal zoning by-laws will now be reviewed by the County. • "Municipal empowerment, through delegation of provincial authority, is an ongoing commitment of the provincial government," said Mr. Riddell. "Minister John Eakins and myself both have full confidence in the ability of Coun- cil to deal effectively with these responsibilities." The delegatiiyx of authority, .which falls under Section 4iof tthe 1983 Planning Act, began in the mid-1970s, and Huron. is the second county to formally request and receive delegation of a number of Ministerial approval authorities. This new approach will make.the system more efficient by: speeding up the Wheel Into Summer On A VAGIBOND))) development approval process; increasing the public's accessibility to the decision- making authority; making Council more accountable and responsive to local needs; increasing local conditions to be reflected in planning decisions; lessening the ad- ministrative workload; and helping the public maintain direct contact with one planner from the beginning to the end of a project. weekends, the committee advised increased O.P.P. patrolling of township roads on weekends and the RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program in McKillop. As requested RIDE came to Winthrop Fri- day, April 7, as did increased patrolling. This resulted in two Impaired Driving charges, five Liquor Licence Act Charges laid, and two persons had their licence suspended for 12 hours as a result of registering a "Warn" on the Roadside Tester (ALERT). Only one vandalized mailbox was reported to the Goderich O.P.P., and the author of the damage was apprehended and is making restitution to the victim. The cost of the mailbox is $54. FARM VEHICLES The committee also reinforced that farm vehicles travelling township roads should meet legal requirements for their own safe- ty and the safety of other drivers. GRAVEL TRUCKS Gravel trucks on the second concession of McKillop have been noted to be travelling westward at excessive speeds. It was recommended that this could be mentionned at the gravel pit, and to the trucking company.
