Ann Fraser and G. Ad- ams explained to council that the am was first intro- duced three years ago, and there is $60 million available for community projects over the next five years. The purpose of this govern- ment assist program is to help smaller communities (under 50,000 population) develop their waterfronts for tourism and recreation purposes.

Of course like all government programs, there is a catch, and council was quick to learn that for every dollar the government authorizes, the municipality would have to put up an equal amount. Waterfront projects are eligi- ble for up to a maximum of $500,000. This amount must not exceed one-third of the total project cost, and must be matched by at least a like amount by the municipality. While councillors were pleased to know there was some Provincial funding available to help with park development, they were unhappy to learn that the project could not be split into small projects in vari- ous parts of the township. In order for council to get any of the $30 million available, they will have to come up with a project that will cost a mini- mum of $260,000. Of this cost they would have to provide doc- umentation to the Province that they would spend $125,000 on the project, before the would be eligible for any fund- Driver leaves scene Durham Regional Police are still investigating an accident that occurred on Labor Day.
