Mcilwraith photo Residents asked to update system • Residents of Ontario's 26 counties have been called on to' take an active part in strengthening and updating the province's 140 -year-old system of county government. ' The Honourable John Ears, Minister of Municipal Affairs, issued the invitation • after he and the province's county wardens received the -report of the Consultation Com- mitte on County Government at a specially- • convened meeting April 20. "The county system has served Ontario well, and I am committed to ensuring that it continues to do so," he said. "But to-do so ef- fectively, it must reflect the realities of the 1990s which continue to show a marked change from 'the nature of the province in the 1840s." "The committee report suggests that a strong county government would have the tools to cope with complex, controversial issues such as waste management, economic development and planning," he said. "It further suggests that unfortunately in some counties the existing legislation does not facilitate an adequate response•tothese concerns." The Minister said the report was the culmination of the work of two provincially - appointed committees — the Advisory Com- mittee on County Government and its suc- cessor the Consultation Committee on Coun- ty Government. • He said the two committees had found that while substantial alterations have been made to the structure and functions of other local_ governments in Ontario, the county system remains much the same today as when it was introduced through the Baldwin Act of 1849. He said it is obvious that a number of changes are required to bring the county government system into line with the realities of today. "These committees went to a great deal of effort to solicit the opinion of all interested parties within the county government system," said Mr. Eakins. "I am now urg- ing all of those who have shown their in- terest in the past, as well as anyone else who now cares to participate. to make their views known to me." "To ensure that as many people as possi- ble have an opportunity to let me know how they .feel .these intiatives should be under- taken, I will wait for their comments until mid-July before taking any action." The Minister pointed out that in meetings held in all 26 counties. input was received from representatives of county councils, the councils of local municipalities and in- terested individuals and associations. The issues were discussed with almost 600 people and more than 120 written briefs were received, resulting in 41 recommenda- tions in the Consultation Committee report. Among its recommendations, the report suggests ways to : - strengthen local municipalities within counties; - improve the way localmunicipalities are represented on county council; and - ensure that services are being delivered by the most appropriate level of local government. The nine MPPs who made up the Con- sultation Committee were: Charlie Tatham: OxfoFd"(Chairman ) ; John Cleary: Cornwall; Mike Dietsch: St. Catharines - Brock; Joan Fawcett: Northumberland; Ron Lipsett: Grey; Keith MacDonald: Prince Edward -Lennox; Jean Poirier: Prescott & Russel; Mike Ray: Windsor- Walkerville; David Smith: Lambton. Peter- borough MPP Peter Adams also contributed to the writing of the report. God knows you can make a difference *OW Ir l r .
