Film on new Trespass Act The Government of Ontario has enacted two new laws - the Occupier's Liabi- lity Act and the Trespass to Property Acf. These new laws affect everyone who uses land in any way. The new laws are of parti- cular interest to farmers, one of the largest landown- ing groups, and to people who use rural land for recreational purposes. To help explain how the laws affect these two groups, the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food and the Minis- try of the Attorney General have produced a 15-minute colour film entitled Acts of Understanding. The 16mm film looks at all aspects of the laws as they affect rural land, parks and private property. If focusses on the two key components of the new laws - the responsibi- lities of the owners and occupiers to take care for visitors' safety, and the provisions strengthening the owner's ability to restrict the use of his land or regulate activities on it. Acts of Understanding is available to schools, clubs and other groups free from the Film Library, Informa- tion Branch, Ontario Minis- try of Agriculture and Food, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1.
