recreation and parks department and the user pay system Then youre invited to hash it out with the recreation director Tom councillors and the mayor Mr will be organizing a public meeting on the request of councillors where the air can be cleared con these matters The meeting was prompted by a letter that appeared in the Acton Free Press last week signed by Routledge of Acton Industrial Past ball Dove McLean Acton Con do Sports Ron Acton Oldtlm- crs and Steve Marshall Acton As None of the sports representatives had called Mr Shepard with complaints or indicated in any way their dis satisfaction to him Over user fees Coun Ross Knechtel said he sympathised with Mr and the awkward position was putting him in by asking Mr Shepard to set up a meeting because of a letter In paper rather than because of a direct complaint Coun Rick Bonnette said It needed to be cla rified that councillors and not Mr Shepard set the user rates People have to be aware those are deci sions weve made not Tom Coun She don stressed Mr express ed dissatisfaction over how the meeting was being set up I dont like the fact that I was never called or written to Mr Shep said I sure wouldnt have this

went up 10 per cent in January It didnt have much of an effect on parents A supervisor in the regions childrens ser vices department said parents who paid full fee for day care continue to pay increased rate Rates for a full day in regular program went from 30 to In July they go up to 51 Diane Ayliffe said no full fee parents request ed subsidization because of fee increase About twothirds of children at the three regional day cares are subsidized depending on their family income and expenses The province and fede ral governments pay 80 per cent of subsidy cost and the region remaining 20 per cent I dont think youre going to see an impact until you see the actual per diem Mrs said By actual per diem she meant the actual cost of day care Right now the centres are charging less than actual cost of the care The region is phasing in the Increases and should be at the actual rates in July 1986 Director of social ser vices Debbie Oakley told members of the regions administration and finance committee last week that she es a shift from fullfee to subsidized parents with the rate increases She said the rates are becoming prohibitive In families where there Is more than one child at centre Somewhere along the way were going to lose out in this issue Milton Brad Clements warned We have to make readjustments somewhere Mrs Ayliffe said since the rate increase one child was pulled out of the Maple Avenue dav care and another In Oak inw to the child to day care It probably mean she explained Majority subsidized The regionally operated Maple Avenue Day Care Centre has only seven nonsubsidized children out of children cared for Diane of he regions childrens services department said about onethird of children at the regions three day cares are nonsubsidized Subsidies ore paid per cent by the province and 20 per cent by the region The amount of subsidy the child qualifies for is dependent on family Income and expenses A full days day care In the regular program
