The Rural Voice, 1993-02, Page 33says the study showed there were hundreds of programs directed at community development, but little co-ordination or shared knowledge.' The Huron Community Services Network was a natural outgrowth of this study. CCAT is producing a directory to be published this spring, listing all the services available at municipal, county, provincial and federal levels as well as private agencies, service clubs, doctors, recreational facilities, and other areas of interest to Huron County residents. Participation in the federally funded Huron Industrial Training Advisory Committee is an important arm of CCAT's extension education program. Both Biondi and McDonald have represented CCAT on HITAC's agri- cultural sub -committee, composed of someone from HITAC, the county ag rep and a couple of well-known and respected local farmers. The latest project, a joint effort with Conestoga College, is a six-week course this month for UI recipients on starting a business. Until last year, HITAC had the authority to assess need within Huron, and arrange the necessary training. At one time 40 per cent of funds went to agriculture -related courses, and CCAT was the major deliverer. The provincial government has begun the process of setting up regional training boards encompas- sing three or four counties. The local agricultural advisory sub -committee will still determine needs, but recommendations will be submitted to the Ontario Agricultural Training Institute who will call for tenders after approving a course. At present, college personnel are writing training manuals for the Institute. Don Stewart, HITAC's Executive Assistant, is concerned that with the move away from the grassroots, CCAT's expertise may not be used as much as before. Biondi doesn't yet know how this change will affect funding. The cost of on -campus continuing education courses is fully recovered by a charge to participants. Those enrolled in off - campus courses pay a registration fee, and the rest is subsidized. "We don't want to get too expensive.
