Auxiliary gives to babies
The Honourable Remo Mancini,
Minister of Revenue, has announc
ed that over 1,000,000 Ontario
seniors will soon receive their
annual $50 Sales Tax Grant (STG)
cheques. The Ministry began mail
ing the 1989 STG cheques this
week.
The Sales Tax Grant payments,
totalling over $54,000,000, are
automatically sent to all senior
citizens to help offset the sales
taxes they have paid during the
year. “I am delighted to announce
these payments in recognition of
the tremendous contribution made
to this province by Ontario’s
seniors,’’ said Mr. Mancini.
No application is necessary to
receive the Sales Tax Grant
cheques. They are automatically
sent to all permanent Ontario
residents 65 years of age and over
who receive the federal Old Age
Security, or who have previously
established their eligibility with the
Ministry of Revenue.
Those who turn 65 between
October and December, 1989, will
receive their cheques early in 1990.
Seniors who have not become
eligible through Old Age Security
may apply directly by filing a
Revenue Ministry application.
Enquiries regarding the Ontario
Tax Grants for Seniors program can

combination of both were advised.
Other areas that were mentioned
for development were the old
fairgrounds and the old creamery
site, which in both cases were
recommended for residential pur
poses.
A business organization working
together to achieve goals was
coupled with the opinion that more
promotion and publicity of Brussels
attributes is required.
Community events like Funfest
are considered effective in many
areas. They attract people to
Brussels, stimulate business and
raise money. Suggestions to up
grade the Fall Fair were also listed.
The consensus, too, was that co
operation among community and
recreational groups in planning,
organizing, supporting and co
ordinating community activities
would be beneficial.
Activities for youths were also
made reference to with most feel
ing that there is a need.
Mr. Mulvey said that the com
mittee hopes to begin meeting once
a week in the new year to start
formulating their ideas. “Once we
have decided on the priority con
cerns we will divide into set groups
of three or four and go through the
lists. Then we will identify the
goals and discuss strategy at
concurrent meetings. We wanted
to get started because it will take
time to get things going.’’
