By Peter Parrott Durham's Regional Council wants to see provincial lottery profits used to heip buiid senior citizens-' accommodations. In a recorded vote of 16-11, Council has asked the Province to make funds from provincial lotteries available in whole or in part for the construction, furnishing and equipping of new homes for the aged. The decision was, made at the iregular meeting of Durham's Regional Council Wednesday, September 6. The resolution from the Region adds that the poiicy of using lottery, profits would continue until t he established demand for homes for the aged bas been accommodated. It will be forwarded to Keith Norton, iiter of Community and Social Services and Reuben Baetz, Minister of Culture and Recreation. Both ministers have been asked to arrive at a formula with their cabinet colleagues- which would make lottery funds available for seniors' residenices. John PeHart, Chairman of, the Durham Region social services committee, urged that the proposal to finance seniors' accommodation through lotteries be supported by Regional Council . He said it appeared as though social services were "at the bottom of the ladder" when regional funds were allocated. "We've -got 300 people waiting to get into homes for, the aged," Councilior DeHart saîd. He 'added that 170 of these persons are bed-ridden and greatly in need of accommodation. The Durham Region has been planning to build a new home for the aged but bas not been able to obtain financing from Ontario. At present, the Ministry of Community and Social Services bas suspended for an indefinite period subsîdies, payable under the Homes for the age and Rest Homes Act for the construction and furnishing of homes for the aged. In its resolution to the Province of Ontario, Durham says that the withdrawal of subsidies and constraints on finances are "effectively circumventing the construction of new homes for the aged with consequent hardships inflicted upon elderiy persons requiring care and accommodation."' But not al regional couniliors agreed to a scheme in which lottery money would be used for seniors. Speaking against the idea, Counilior Alan Dewar said "The use of Wintario funds in this fashion is a bad use of public money. " Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard also disagreed. He said he believes it is the responsibility of citizens to -oo *after the aged. He added that a committee of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario has taken the position that Wintario funds ought to b4e used' for community and cultural facilities. "It, (Wintario) is not a bottomless pit," said Mayor Rickard. He added that funds in this area are already over- extended. Oshawa. Mayor Jim Potticary said that he agreed with Durham's resolution on si'eniors accommodation. However, he said "I- 1arn convinced that we-havýe been moving in the 'Wrong direction in the case of our senior citizens." The Oshawa mayor said seniors should be kept in their own homes as long as possible. Use Lottery Funds' To Build Seniors', Homes, Says Region
