For 1989, the revenue generated by the Conservation Authority ac­ cording to a report from Mr. Thor came to $1,404,371, which was $963,556 less than proposed'by the 1989 budget. User fees and sales from the conservation areas was $4,009 over the budgeted amount and monies raised and donated by the Maitland Valley Foundation was $7,524, $4,774 over the amount predicted by last year’s budget. Provincial grants received were $847,779 while $287,815 was received in municipal levies. For expenditures, the 1989 bud­ get had set aside $1,536,327 for water and related land manage­ ment projects.

For­ tunately, a specially equipped and staffed trauma unit was ready and standing by at a nearby hospital. This special facility helped Bruce beat the odds and he hits returned to work. Helping hospitals is just one way lottery profits are used. Lottery profits are also used to provide grants in other areas such as helping people with disabilities. They also help fund sports and recreation, arts and culture, and province-wide charities. This is how Lottery funds are working for you in your area.
