Oecember for 1982 grant Jcichuo licyaingo by .3©,giddcal Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Claude Bennett, announced that $25 million will go towards rental housing initiatives to encour- age development of new housing and the preservation of existing accommodation. The $18.2 million Convert - to -Rent Program is for the conversion of non-residential properties to rental apart- ments. The Minister also an- nounced two demonstration programs. The first, a $5.5 million program will help landlords upgrade major sys- tems, such as plumbing or electrical in older apartment buildings. The other program with the amount of $f .2 million is - earmarked to show the ad- vantages of duplexing, creat- ing about 150 new° rental units in existing single-fam- ily housing. The Convert -to -Rent pro- gram is being launched initially in Metro Toronto and Ottawa. It offers 15 -year, interest free loans of $7,000 per unit to assist in the conversion of non-residential buildings such as ware- houses, second -floor space above stores and vacant school property, to moderate rent housing. If the program is success- ful in Toronto the Ministry will be considering other municipalities with a vacancy rate of less than two per cent. 'Municipal support is vital to the success of the program particularly with regards to zoning flexibility. SUNCOR One and a half years after the Ontario Government made a $650 million "invest- ment” in Suncor, the cost to the Ontario taxpayer has increased by almost S114 million. Each and every day the Government continues to hold its 25 per cent share in the company the loss rises. Since the beginning of 1981, interest costs on the purchase price have totalled S139 million, while Ontario's one-fourth share of earnings, in the form of dividends paid and increased equity, equals S25 million. The net loss through the second quarter of 1982 reach- ed $113,994,880 • more than the Ontario Government will spend on the entire COED job creation program. Suncor's recent press re- lease boasts earnings are up over the first six months of 1982 - it lumps the first two quarters together to try to disguise a second quarter drop in performance. Second quarter earnings were $18.3 million, a 19 per cent decline. from the previous quarter. BILD STORAGE GRANTS The Minister of Agricul- ture and Food Dennis Tim- .,,brell announced that $83,329 grants were awarded to 17 Ontario Fruit and vegetable growers and packers. The Minister said the grants are incentives to help the grow- ers and packers expand and improve their operations. The recipients have person- ally inves*ci another $166,- 658 in the variouslfrojects. The grants cover one-third of the cost of new or renovated storage facilities for Ontario -grown fruit and vegetables for fresh and processing markets. They also apply to one-third of the cost of purchasing and instal- ling handling and packing equipment. The BILD initia- tive is aimed at extending the marketing. period for fresh Ontario fruit and vegetables and reducing imports. ELIGIBILITY DEADLINE Seniors who haven't estab- lished their eligibility for the 1982 Sales Tax Grant through Old Age Security have until December 31 st, 1983 to file an Ontario Tax Grant eligibility application. This eligibility deadline is the same for the Ontario Property Tax Grant. Proof of age and residency must accompany the eligibil- ity application. A birth or baptismal certificate is the usual document required for proof of age. If a senior cannot obtain either of these documents, at least two documents should be for- warded which show age or date of birth e.g. Passport or marriage certificate. Seniors receiving OAS or who have previously established eligi- bility will automatically re- ceive the Sales Tax Grant. Leisure Life... Designed to promote and enhance tourism in Southwestern. 'Ontario. Bring tourists to your door Ly joining the magazine tourists won't want to be without. "There are about two students in any geographical area," said the superintendent. Both the director and Mr. McCauley said it would be expensive for the board to educate these students because facilities would have to be created, transportation provided along with teaching staff.
