Tough new laws will deter trespassing.
How we're help'
to protect you
and your properly.
For nearly 150 years Ontario has
had a law making it an offence to
enter property where entry is
prohibited. But now new legislation—
The Trespass to Property Act—has
toughened up the law to protect
your rights.
Trespassers can now be fined up to
$1,000. In addition, they can be ordered
to pay for damages they have caused.
An important part of the legislation
designates premises where entry is
prohibited without notice. These
include your gardens, orchards,
vineyards, land under cultivation,
woodlots and fenced land.
Where notice must be given to
prohibit entry, you may use red
markings on gates, trees or fences.
Yellow markings may be used to caution
that only certain activities may be
permissible. It is the responsibility of
the visitor to find out what you permit.
LAND USED FOR RECREATION
In the past, there was a great deal of
confusion regarding your responsibility
to people you allow on your land.
Consequently many farmers and rural
landholders would not allow recreational
activities on their properties.
Now another new act—The Occupiers'
Liability Act—reduces your responsi-
bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes
that those who take their recreation on
most rural land without paying a fee
will take care for their own safety.
A special system has been devised
to allow you to easily indicate which
activities you will allow on your
property. A sign naming or graphically
representing an activity (for example,
hiking) indicates that the activity is
permitted. The same kind of sign with
an oblique stroke through it means
that you prohibit the activity.
These new laws are part
of a continuing program to
streamline our legislation.
By clarifying your rights,
they afford you greater
protection from trespass
and also reduce your
liability when you make
land available for
recreational purposes.

The Affirmative Action
consulting Service of the
Women's %wean provides
information and advice to
employers and unions
concerning equal op-
portunity for women in the
work place. Many employers
believe that equal op-
portunity already prevails
within their organizations.
However, while it is
possible that much
discrimination is unin-
tentional, it does exist-
simply as part of a system
which has evolved from a
time when discrimination
was acceptable-and legal.
Effects of this past
discrimination are evident in
the wage gap, and obvious in
the clustering of women in
the clerical, sales and ser-
vice job categories.
This is where affirmative
action and the Women's
Bureau consultants come in,
Free consultative assistance
is provided to private sector
employees, school, hospital
and library boards,
municipalities, universities
and unions in Ontario.
Resources are also
provided for management
consultants, and labour,
trade and professional
associations-in other words,
almost everyone concerned
with women employees. It is
the consultants' job to show
employers how to make the
best of all their human
resources by adopting af-
firmative action programs
and activities.
Affirmative action tends to
be a somewhat maligned but
perfectly .good term,
referring to the examination
of the personnel policies and
procedures of an
organization in order to
identify and correct
discriminatory practics.
Many employers associate
"affirmative action" with
thosedreadedterms-"reverse
discrimination" and
"quotas". It needs to be
pointed out that by taking
affirmative action, em-,
ployers are adopting special
measures to correct an
imbalance in the work force,
and that these special
measures or strategies
should involve realistic goals
and timetables-just like any
other corporate policy for
change.
For instance, „if very few
women-or none ;at all-have
been hired for jobs, other
than those considered to be
"women's work", biased
hiring procedures, including
recruitment and in-
terviewing, may be 'iden-
tified.
Women may be overlooked
automatically for jobs that
are heavy, or dirty or
require travel. Women may
be assumed to be incapable
of or uninterested in a
particular job or type of job.
Qualifications may be
requested which do not
match actual job
requirements.
While men are often hired
on the basis of their
progress, women are often
expected to prove them-
selves-repeatedly.
When such situations are
identified, Bureau con-
sultants may suggest that an
employer initiate
"awareness sessions",
directed at dispelling
stereotypes, for everyone
involved in the hiring
process. They may
recommend that hiring
committees consist of both
men and women who are
familiar with the issues, and
as well, may advocate that
job advertisements
specifically invite both
women and men to apply.
Also, consultants stress
the need for employers to set
targets and measure results,
in order to monitor change.
In addition to direct
consultation, the Affirmative
Action staff are in-
defatigable public speakers.
They sponsor and organize
workshops, and accumulate,
produce and circulate
relevant material.
A recent and very suc-
cessful project, has involved
the establishment of net-
works for groups of em-
ployers with similar in-
terests and concerns about
affirmative action.
The Advisory Council on
Equal Opportunity for
Women was established in
1979, with the object of better

Identifying the concerns of
management and labour
with regard to affirmative
action, and to draw on the
expertise which exists within
both groups.
The Council's mandate is
to provide advice and
assistance to the Minister of
Labour and the the Affir-
mative Action Consulting.
Service. The Council,
chaired by Marnie Clarke,
has seven members who
represent labour,
management and the Status
of Women Council.
One last item which I
would like to mention is the
fact that Ontario employers
are expressing increasing
concern about the shortage
of skilled workers in a
number of occupations, and
employment projections for
the next decade indicate that
this shortage will continue to
grow.
Aware of the skilled trades
shortage and the lack of
adequate information for
women in this area, the
Women's Bureau has
recently released a new
publication entitled "New
Skills for Women".
This 13-page brochure
attempts to answer the most
common questions relating
to the skilled trades and
technology. What are the
jobs? What kind of training
is required? What problems
could I encounter? Where
can I get additional in-
formation?
Women represent the
fastest growing group in the
labour force, but are
generally concentrated in a
few traditionalyfemaleareas
of work. Many of these jobs
are low paying and provide
little opportunity for ad-
vancement.
As Marnie Clarke,
Director of Ontario's
Women's Bureau, has
pointed out, "Women must
be encouraged to take ad-
vantage of the training and
opportunities available for
the job openings in the
skilled trades and
technology. Statistics show
tbat,.the average Canadian
woman can expect to spend
at least 25 years of her life in
the paid labour force,
regardless, of ber marital
status. Those 25 years can be
routine, undervalued and
underpaid-or they can be
challenging and rewarding.
Women are now beginning
to enter non-traditional
occupations and exploring. a.
variety of new options.
-However, they need support
and encouragement from
their families, the
educational system and from
industry itself," JACK RIDDELL
