Fifty-flve per cent of OFY
grants to rural project $
A total of 4,334 projects, em-
phasizing community benefit,
will provide summer employ-
ment for 36,152 young Canadians
under the 1973 Opportunities for
Youth Program, Secretary of
State Hugh Faulkner announced
recently.
Average cost per project is
$8,209, down from last year's
average of between $10,000 and
$11,000. The drop is. due to in-
creased support from private
firm and individuals in the com-
munities, who are providing sup-
plies, Rinds and facilities to many
of the projects.
Among the participants, 32 per
cent are university students, 31
per cent are students of secon-
dary schools or high schools, 27
per cent are community college
students and 1.0 per cent are non-
students.
Increased emphasis was
placed on community services
and involvement, Which have
been goals of the program since
its inception in 1971. Local ad-
visory committees, made up of
representatives of social agen-
cies, provincial governments and
community groups, were formed
to counsel the OFY officers to
avoid duplication of programs
and to ensure that local priorities
were met.
In this year's program, a
successful effort was made to in-
crease participation. from rural
areas. The average ratio across
the country is 55 per cent rural
projects and 45 per cent urban
projects.
Female participation has also
risen in this year's program.
Women mike up. 49.5 per cent of
the total number of participants
in the projects and men 50.5 per
cent.
