Planning and Development
Act expresses the intention
of the Legislature that the
Escarpment should be
maintained "substantially as
a continuous natural
environment" and that only
such development should be
permitted-as-will be "com-
patible with that natural
-nvironment."
There have been occasions
in -the past when the Liberal
Caucus has differed with the
way in which the Commis-
sion has sought to implement
this mandate. These dif-
ferences culminated in the
presentati.fr of a Private
Member's Bill by Robert
McKessock (MPP Grey) last
session which, if passed,
would have restricted the
Commission's control to the
Escarpment itself and 1,000
feet on either. side.
However, we have no
quarrel with the Commis-
sion's decision last April
whereby it refused to issue a
development permit to
Cantrakon Limited for an
executive hotel and con-
ference centre. at Caledon.
The Commission's reasons,
supported on appeal by
Hearing Officer David
Jamiesoh, were compelling -
namely, that the site of the •
project is, aorttagonigic to the
preservation of the Escarp-
ment as a continuous natural
environment.
The Cantrakon project is
an excellent idea - in the
wrong place. We cannot
allow a major hotel complex
to be built on the face of the
Scarp itself, overlooking the
Forks of the Credit - one of
the most scenic spots along
the entire Escarpment
and hope to maintain public
support for the preservation
of the Escarpment as part of
Ontario's heritgge. If this
corporate 'retreat is permit-
ted, on what grounds will
other development be
denied? It is not difficult to
imagine an Escarpment dot-
ted with magnificent luxury
hotels and idyllic homes from'
Queenstonto Tobermory. But

library sti has a number of books for sale,
which ten ial buyers can peruse during

that is not what the
Legislature or the public
wants.
Housing Minister Claude
Bennett• was •wrong to over-
ride the decision of the
Commission and the recom-
mendation of the Hearing
--Officer in this case. -Firs"
stated reason was that the
project will be "of economic
benefit to the area". He
seems to be the only person
who feels that particular area
needs this kind of economic
benefit. His real reasons are
that it would be a boost to the
commercial tourist industry.
It would indeed, and we
support it - but not on the
face of the Escarpment.

BOOK BARGAINS_ GALORE — The books for
sale Saturday, morning in the basement of
Seaforth Public Library were worth waiting for
as over 700 books, discards from the Huron
County Library system, were sold to raise
along the Escarpment were
received after the Commis-
sion was established. More
than 90% of the applications
were approved, albeit with
objections from some Com-
mission members.
Issues
There are three main issues
which have to -be taken into
account by the Commission
in attempting to carry out its
work (1) Over-all public good
versus the rights of the
individual landowner. (2)
Different attitudes with re-
spect to land restrictions
and the use of the Escarp-
ment. (3) The assumption by
the Province of a land-use
planning function which has
"rock, forest and wave- traditionally been left to
washed cliffs," "unspoiled municiPaillics ,
breath-taking scenery to be
Last February, the Corn-beauty", "some of the most
mission published its recom---
mendations, which included: found anywhere in Ontario".
Some '10 years ago, plan-
ner. Leonard Gertler, in a
study prepared for the Pro-
vincial Government, pre-
dicted in detail how quickly
the Escarpment area would
be taken over by residential ,
and industrial development if
the Government did not take
rapid and effective action to
prevent the loss of escarp-
ment land. Yet three years
went by before the govern-
ment imposed . temporary
controls and pa'Ssed -FT1its

(criticized as being too weak)
Five years after the Gertler
Report, the Government an-
nounced establishment of the
Niagara Escarpment Com-
mission, to be in charge of
long.:term planning. During
the five-year interval, the.
Government announced
establishment of the Niagara
Escarpment Commission, to
be in charge .of long-term
planning. During the five-
year interval, .the Govern-
ment spent sonic $7 million
to buy 20.000 acres on the
Escarpment: speculators had
also been very active in the

PROCLAMATION
Christopher Columbus' great voyage to the New
World: in 1492 required vision, courage and
deterrnination. His discovery changed the course of
world events. His name is deservedly honored in
history.
Columbus ventured into uncharted seas, dis-
regarding' the advice of supposedly learned men,
because he had faith' in God, faith in his own
convictions, and faith in his capabilities as a '
navigator. His spirit was unconquerable. He
presevered in the face of overwhelming difficulties.
It is fitting that America annually renders tribute to,
the memory of the famed Genoese explorer on the
anniversary of his historic voyage.
I hereby designate in accordance with this tradition,
Nbnday, October 23rd, 1978 as COLUMBUS DAY.
1 urge our citizens to observe this day in a manner
_that sv_ill_dramatize--and—resrate--the- furriGnental —
principles of faith; wisdom and courage which
guided the-footsteps of the Great. Discoverer:
