The Bruce -Grey separate board is predicting, that
salaries saved ,during the ten-day teachers' protest
won't cover strike -related expenses the education min-
istry is ordering the board to pay.
The province wants school boards to pay $409
familyas child care compensation:
The compensation is available toall families with
ehildren^up to age 13, whether or not they had child
care costs'duri,ng'the strike " , . • }
. "Ws .a farmers' grant," board, chair Ken Waechter
said about the no -strings- offer:
,Business supervisor• Cathy Colton said the board
saved $619,000 in. salaries during the strike. The
board could "break even" on the $40 a' day child care
• cost if 1,500 families, apply. If 2,000 families apply,
the board's cost rises to $$.00,000.
"We're leaning closer to that," Colton said after a
survey of student numbers and family sizes at one
school, "Then we're in a loss position,"
That loss will' he .compounded by another ministry
directive.ordering hoards to• make up.k st teaching
. days by cancelling professional development and
exam.,days. •Changing the school calendar to do
that means disrupting busroutes shared with the two
nei.ghho.u.r:jng• boards, resulting i -:11-r tra. $67,000:

513.600 more than the separate, .board.saved. on busing-.

On Nov. 17, the Bruce -
Grey -Owen 'Sound Board
of Health unanimously
voted' in favor of a resolu-
tion .pertaining to private
sewage systems. The reso-
lution comes in response
to the downloading of pri-
vate sewage system
responsibility from the
province to municipalities.
In March 199$, subsur-
face 'sewage disposal leg-
islation (Part VIII of the
Environmental Protection
Act) will become part of '.
the Building Cade .Act:'
What this change•means is
that each of 'thee 5.6 ,munici- ,
palities of Orey and Bruce.
Counties ,will be responsi-
ble for :enforcing this leg

Managed .the private
sewage disposal program.
The Board of Health's res-
olution recommends the
Public Health Unit contin-
ue to provide the service
to each of the 56 munici=

Unit has provided the .pro-
gram in the past because it
-is mandated, by law, to

, to prevent disease.`
To. cover the $400,000
