Beach development receives $18812 George Ashe, M:P.P. for Durham West Provincial Riding, advised tod ay that theMinistry of Culture and Ilecreation has approýved a Wintario Capital Support grant of approximately $18,812, to assist with the improvements to -Iroquois Beach Park in Whitby. In calculating the max- imum amount of Wintario grant for this project, the Ministry assumed thàt the Town of Whitby will receive a grant 'of equal amount under' The Comnmunity Recrea tion Centres Act from the Province.' If the actual amount ap- proved under The Commnu- nity Recreation Centres Act is more or less than this amùaunt, an appropriate re- vision will be made to the Wintario grant to ensure that the Town,,does receive its full entitlement. This is a further commit- ment by the Provincial Government to the ongoing development of Iroquois Beach Park. Both in 1977 and 1978 the Ministry 0f Natural' Resources provided $25,000 under The Parks Assistance Act to this same project, for a total of $50.000.
