Zurich Citizens News, 1970-07-30, Page 5THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1970 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS Minister Seeks Suggestions on Region's Social and Economic Need's The people of the four -county Midwestern Region of Ontario have been invited to comment on the government's analysis of the region's social and economic needs. The Hon. Charles MacNaughton Provincial Treasurer and Minister of Economics, said in presenting the report in Listowel, that the government's development prop- osals for the region would not be established until there is plenty of opportunity for the people in the region to respond to them and to consider them in terms of their own local interests and to make known how they would be affected and what are the best ways of carrying them out. "'These broad provincial plans, and the provincial policies that will influence the shaping of local plans, are not proposals that are being imposed from on high." "We are particularly interested in suggestions from you about the priorities and long-range proposals for the development of the region, " the minister said. "We would like your opinions about the needs and priorities for each zone of the region, item by item, in the kind of detail that will enable us to bring together into an overall program a detail- ed system of planning policies and priorities for the region. "We would like your views on transportation systems, on lanes use, on recreation areas, on urban growth and centres of influence, on education needs, on health care facilities, in short on all of the matters dealt with in the re- port." Mr. MacNaughton set out three questions the government would like to have answered. They are: 1. Do you agree with our select- ion of the problems and needs for the region? If not, which should be de-emphasized or ex- cluded, and which should be ad- ded? 2. What comments do you have regarding the priorities set out in the report? 3.
