Gwen Cutler of Durham Rýegional Police's community ser- vice bureau says studants will ha busad to the village fromn schools across the region. She says there's some 16,000 stu dents who could eventually use it. Police will staff the village and pay operating costs. Cutier says the two service clubs have coin- mitted substantial amounts of monay» toward construction costs and Dupont Canada has donatad $10,000. Organizers are looking to cor- porate sponsors to pic k up a major part of the tab, says Cut- "There will ha plots of land, approximately 10 by 20 (feet), and those spaoes will ha sold to a cor porate sponsor -- say McDonalds or a bank or coffee shop, who will arect their own building. Comaisad(niiul will also get a chance to put their names on streets, for a fae, or donate services or aqui pmen. "T'raffic lights, desks, chairs, plumbing, anything lika that would gladly be acceptad," says Cutler. Volunteers te, help run the village or assist with construc- tion or landscaping would also ha walcomed; she adds. Kathleen Rowe principal Linda Raney says the school hias more than seven acres, so the Kid's Town won't make things cram- ped. She says it's a "really exciting venture... I see it very much as a benefit (for the school)." Raney says having police around and the village so close will have a big impact on stu- dents, and will serve as a con- stant remindar about bike and road safety. Jim Thompson, prasidant of a home and echool association, is also keen on the village.
