A wants trespassing law change
B7PALICE GIBB
The land use com-
mittee of the Huron
County Federation' of
Agriculture has.
recommended 'that'
Attorney General Roby
McMurtry consider some
changes to the proposed
legislation on trespassing
on privately -owned land.
The , government is
proposing to replace the
Petty Trespasses Act
with two new pieces of
legislation the
Occupiers' Liability ` Act
and the Trespass to
Property Act.
The attorney general
recently, requested public
reaction to the proposed
legislation.
Gordon Hill of Varna,
chairman of the land use
committee, said his
committee recognizes the
proposals outlined in the
new acts are a definite
improvement to the
current situation existing
under the Petty
Trespasses Act.
Under the proposed
legislation, the maximum
fines for trespassing
would be increased from
$100 - to $1,000. Also,
landowners would be
asked to mark their
a property with signs or
some type --of colored
'marker to indicate if
trespassing is forbidden
.on their property.
Mr.. Hill said• his
;_...committee recommended
that •the only cause .for
landowner liability in the
event of an injury to
someone- trespassing on -
the property, should be
when an act has been
done by the landowner
with "deliberate intent to
-cause harm to someone
' coming on the land."
He said the land use
committee also
recommended that
rather than putting signs
or markers on the.
property warning people
to keep off the land, there
should be a positive entry
system of signs so lan-

Mr. Hill said his
committee also
recommended to the
minister that there
shouldn't be a Limit to the
damages award a, judge
could assess on the
conviction of a trespasser
andthat the damages
awarded should be equal,
to -the full amount of
damages incurred.
Fin -ally,- they' - local
committee recommended
' there be a mandatory fine

recommendations were

federation meeting, held
at Huron Centennial
School, Brucefield, was
George Klosler, president
of the Oxford County
Federation' of„,
Agriculture. Mr. Klosler
showed his organization's
agricultural film, A
Question of Balance.
Mr. Klosler explained
his group decided ° to
make the film three years
ago when there was a
great ,deal of discussion i k
Oxford County.' about.
drawing up an . official
land use . plan for the
county. Mr, Klosler said
while interest groups
,such as land developers
were well represented in
discussions with county
officials, no one was
really representing
farmers.
During the .opening ceremonies at the Bayfield
Arena on . Saturday, Bayfield Reeve' .Frank
McFadden spoke on the history and long hours of
dedication that went ,into. the making. Of he new
arena: Here Reeve McFadden makes aii'inin n his
sp ch to a crowd.of about 40.(NeWs-Record pho o)'
•
14r. Klosler pointed' otic
since farmers make- up
only five percent of the
'population, they needed,
to convince the general
populattO "to share their
views on land use in the
county. They d8.ecided to
• produce'a film outlining
their views on agriculture
and the dangers of en-
croaching urbanization.'
.The film took two years
to produce and. cost the
group $22,000. The
speaker said the film has
since been shown all
-across- .the. pritnee- — on -
television, at agricultural
conferences and has even
been sent to Europe afar
viewing.
Mr. Klosler said county
officials congratulated
the Oxford County F. of
A. for having the greatest
influence on' the way the
official plan for the
county finally shaped up.
Under°the Oxford Plan
there are buffer zones
between intensive
agricultural areas and
urban centres and
severances are allowed
only in the case of the
purchases of adjoining
farms without a special
appeal process.
Bill Crawford, the
fieldman for the Huron
County- Federation told
the audience that the
executive will be can-
vassing,, for new
federation members in
Stephen, Usborne; and
Ashfield townships on
July -17: to 19.'
The executive also
asked federation
.members to submit the
parries of those people in
the , county whohave
made 'a worthwhile
contribution to
agriculture for the annual
Huron County -Federation
of Agriculture Award.
