44'orkersr Compensation Reforms Emphasize Fairness
On June 20, 1988, the Ontario government introduced legislation
reforming the Workers' Compensation system. with a view to ad-
dressing fairness and efficiency in the system.
Minister of Labour Gregory Sorbara highlights a number of key
issues the proposed legislation will address.
Greater benefits to workers should result from:
* A "dual award" system for workers with partial, permanent disa-
bilities.. This will eliminate the old "meat chart" and will instead
base awards on (1) loss of earnings; and (2) impact of enjoyrnenl of
Iifc outside the workplace.
* Requirement that employers maintain pension, health and life in-
surance benefits for up to one year from date of injury. About
20,000 workers now on permanent, partial disability pensions will
rcccivc an additional pension of up to S320 a month as a result.
They will continue to be tax free and will increase with the cost of
living.
* Requirement4 that employers re -hire an injured worker in his pre-
vious job (or similar one at the same wages) where the worker is
able to perform those functions. If unable to perform the same job,
the employer is obliged to offer the first suitable position that comes
open.
* Exclusion from re-employment obligations to businesses with
fewer than 20 employees, and industries such as construction where
work patterns make the re -instatement obligation impractical.
* Maximum term for temporary awards will be 12 months. At
that time,' the Board must make a two-year interim award.
If you have any questions regarding this new legislation, the Min-
istry of Labour has set up an information line which can be called

GB foreman suggests vacu-sweeper
GRAND BEND - At the last reg-
ular meeting of the outgoing coun-
cil last Tuesday, public works fore-
man Bud Markham said the village
should consider purchasing a vacus-
weeper from the town of Leaming-
ton.
Markham told council he had been
to Leamington to test the sweeper
and that it would be a great im-
provement for keeping the streets
clean from leaves and it would also
help get rid of clogged catch basins.
He said Leamington had just pur-
chased a newer model for S93,000
and is willing to sell the 1979 mod-
el to Grand Bend for 515,000.
Although council said it liked the
idea, it passed the idca on to the in-
coming council.
Markham also told council that
the current garbage truck cannot.
keep up with the number of bags of
leaves that are being left for pickup.
He said one place had 70 bags to be
picked up, which docs not leave
enough room for the regular garbage
on the trucks, because most of the
bags are full of heavy, wet leaves,
but told council it will still contin-
ue to pick up the leaves, but only
as they can.
Council was also -informed -by
Markham that the owner of Farmer
Bill's Flowers would like the bench
in front of his store moved, or he
was going to move it into the mid-
dle of Highway 21.
Markham told council that the
bench was on village property and
was first put their to accommodate
people waiting for the bus. Farmer
Bill's owner said he would like it
moved because it gathers up a lot of
small trash.
Council said the bench should
stay where it is but councillor Bruce
Woodley said he would talk .to the
owner trying to convince the owner
to keep the bench where it is.
Reeve Harold Green told council
he learned from the1Public Utilities
Commission that Grand Bend will
have the lowest rate of increase of
any municipality in Ontario, with
an average increase of 3.4 percent in
the new year. The provincial aver-
age is over five percent.
Green also said many people in
Grand Bend would be getting dis-
counts because it doesn't use a lot
of electricity during peak hours.
Peak hours of electricity use would
be during the week and at night and
in the winter. Green said Grand
Bend falls into all of the categories
for receiving discounts
Grand Bend will now have a repre-
sentative on the Ausable Bayfield Permission was granted by coun-
Conservation Authority after reach- cil for Ed Sterling and Kcn Sterling
ing an agreement with the Town- to bow hunt at the Grand Bend
ship of Stephen. Councillor Marsha waste site provided they meet all
Lemon and Green attended a meet- the conditions previously granted to
ing of the ABCA on November 3 at" Norm Johnson twit month.
which it was decided that Grand
Bend would have a representative
for a two-year term. Green said he
pushed for having it a three-year
term to coincide with municipal
elections but his request was denied.

Council was informed the provin-
cial government has set up tourist
booths in six American cities and
was told through a letter from the
government the village was wel-
come to use any of the booths, en-
titled "Ontario in New York," to
help with village tourism.
