LEAD involves local residents in the plan- ning, management and ownership of new ventures designed to create employment now, and in the future. Proposals from Chambers of Com- merce, economic development asso- ciations, band councils, municipali- ties and LEAD corporations will result in nearly $200 million being invested in community ventures over the next two years. Job Corps Job Corps is designed to help organi- zations, businesses, individuals, municipalities and school hoards introduce severely employment disadvantaged people to the world of work. A combination of life skills training, and actual job experience in controlled work situations will help ease this group into the labour mar- ket. The main focus of the Job Corps Program is youth. Individuals whose lack of education, job experience, mental, phy- sical or social problems have prevented them from entering the work force will benefit. Over the next two years, Job Corps will pro- vide over $66 million in wages and other program costs. Career -Access Career -Access is designed to give the inexperienced, the disabled and the disadvantaged a chance to prove themselves. The program provides wage subsi- dies which can be as high as 85% and extend for up to 12 months, to employers who provide the suppor- tive on-the-job learning and expe- rience that these people are lonking for. Over the next two years, more than $210 million will be spent on this program. Thr main focus of Career -Access is youth. By helping these Canadians increase their skills, the business community can help itself by devel- oping experienced employees for future growth.

Russ Howald appeared before the Flood Plain Review Committee to recount his ex- periences in trying to overcome an error in flood plain mapping by the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority. The Hanover session, held Thursday, Oc- tober 13, was one of a series of hearings to gather public views on the level of flood pro- tection to be provided and the responsibility and accountability of public and private groups involved with or affected by regula- tions designed to protect land susceptible to flooding. Howald said his company, Chantry Developments, lost over $100,000 because of the time it took to get approval from the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority to build on land it owned in Southampton. The company bought the land in 1969 and was not able to start development until 1978. Howald commissioned a study by an in- dependent engineering firm to prove that the Authority's flood plain mapping was in- correct and then prepared a brief to the then Housing Minister, Claude F. Bennett, in an attempt to get the Authority to withdraw its objections to the Chantry development. After approval was eventually obtained and development started, Howald appealed to the Ontario Ombudsman for compensa- tion. The ombudsman conducted an in- vestigation and concluded that he had no jurisdiction, even though the Authority had caused undue delay in approving the development. Howald then appealed to Premier Davis who suggested that legal advice be sight A prominent Toronto law firm examined the circumstances and concluded that although Chantry had suffered financial loss because of the negligence of the Authority's engineers, there was no legal basis for com- pensation. "Even though the Authority was proven to be wrong," said Howald, "it cannot be held responsible for its actions, even through the courts. "If I were a criminal, I would get more ac • tion through the ombudsman. How can I win?" Howald said he realizes that he doesn't stand much chance of recovering his losses but he can at least try to prevent the same thing happening to other builders and developers. He recommended to the committee that conservation authorities be treated like pro- vincial government ministries and other units, which are subject to the om- budsman's scrutiny. That way, said Howald, they will be forc- ed to act responsibly. Ministry okays sewage grant LISTOWEL - The Ministry of the Environment has approved a grant for sanitary sewer work in Listowel.
