Co uncill approves ýexp anded ralcing Despite an emotional plea from East Ward Councillor Joe Drumm, Whitby Town Council bas ratified a proposal to allow racing to take place on the north track of Faniily Kartways.

Quebec was a tremen- dous success according to Regional Councillor Tom Edwards. Edwards, cliairman of the town's twinning confimittee, led a sizable delegation of Whitby residents to the. Mon- treal suburb. For the first time, -Whitby residents were liosted in the homes of several Longueuil residents where they got to know -their .fellow, Canadians on a one-to- one basis. "We all felt that we know our friends from- Longueuil even better than we did before," Edwvards: told council. "We ail know what life is like in. modern day Quebec a little more than we did before. "^ The Whitby group was taken on -a tour of the Palais des Congres over the weekend at the same time as' the Parti Quebecois was holding its annual policy con- vention. This convention bas made news headlines over the past few days because of the party's decision to make Quebec independance the major' platform during the next provin- cial election. The irony of this situation was not bast on Centre Ward Councillor Marcel Brunelle, who also went on the trip. "Here we' were, a group of people trying to bring our country together," he said. "That- is, stronger than ail the policy statements that the P.Q . can put together." Next year, a delegation ' from Longueuil Will visit Whitby. $20m ini permits so far Town sf11l gro wing at a record Pace, report s ays Whitby is still breaking al 0f its previous growth records according to a develop- ment report released last week by Mayor Bob Attersley.
