Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Claude Ben- nett, announced that $25 million will go towards rental housing initiatives to en- courage development of new housing and the preservation of existing accommodation. The $18.2 million Convert - to -Rent Program is for the conversion of non-residential properties to rental apartments. The Minister also announc- ed two demonstration pro- grams. The first, a $5.5 million program will help landlords upgrade major systems, such as plumbing or electrical in older apartment buildings. The other program with the. amount of $1.2 million is ear- marked to show the advan- tages of duplexing, creating about 150 new rental units in existing single-family housing. The Convert -to -Rent pro- gram is being launched in- itially in Metro Toronto and Ottawa. It offers 15 -year, in- terest free loans of $7,000 per unit to assist in the conversion of non-residential buildings such as warehouses, second - floor space above stores and vacant school property, to moderate rent housing. If the program is successful in Toronto the Ministry will be considering other municipalities with a vacan- cy rate of less than two percent. Municipal support is vital to the success of the program particularly with regards to zoning flexibility. Under the -first demonstra- tion program, interest-free loans of up to $7,000 per unit will be available to assist in the upgrading of major systems in properties built prior to 1955 in Toronto, Ot- tawa, Hamilton and Thunder Bay. The other demonstration program, dealing with hous- ing congersions to produce new rental units, will Involve 15 -year, interest-free loans to qualified home owners in Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and Thunder Bay. The average loan will be $7,000 per unit. One and a half years after the Ontario Government made a $650 million "invest- ment" in Suncor, the cost to the Ontario taxpayer has in- creased by almost $119 million. Each and every day the Government continues to hold its 25 percent share in the company the loss rises. Since the beginning of 1981, interest costs on the purchase price have totalled $139 million, while Ontario's one- fourth share of earnings, in the form of dividends paid and increased equity, equals $25 million. The net loss through the se- cond quarter of 1982 reached $113,994,880 - more than the Ontario Government will spend on the entire COED job creation program. Sunc.or's recent press release boasts earnings are up over the first six months of 1982 - it lumps the first two quarters together to try to disguise a second quarter drop in performance. Second quarter earnings were $18.3 million, a 19 percent decline from the previous quarter. The Minister of Agriculture and Food Dennis Timbr Il an- nounced that $83,329 in grants t+ire awarded to 17 Ontario Fruit and vegetable growers and packers. The Minister said the grants are incentives to help the growers and packers expand and improve their operations. The reci- pients have personally in- vested another $166,658 in the various projects. The grants cover one-third of the cost of new or DOLLIES WIN IN SEAFORTH – The Exeter Downtown Dollies won the B champion- ship in the weekend Lake Huron'zone softball tournament held in S''eaforth.
