municipalities to set up licens subsidized or private home care facilities and non licensed home child care services The implemen tation program also includes pro viding education on child care to those who set up licensed vices licenced child care facilities are those in which people offer babysitting services throughout the day explained Ms Jonz Several Hills residents have enquired about setting up a child care service said Ms But she was unwilling to reveal any names of the people because nothing has been confirmed Although Halton Hills is in need of more child care spaces it t have the problems faced by other municipalities in the Region There are more than 200 people on the waiting list for said Ms The idea of expanding the Maple Ave centre became possible after the Region decided in 1988 parts of the building needed reconstruc tion The renovations were required because the deterioration of the foundation and the exterior walls were so great that if left in disrepair they would have presented a safety hazard for the children The building was converted into a child care centre from an old farm house that was built sometime during the early 1900s Renovations are expected to cost MARYS making Altera between and with the Region paying between 16 000 and according to a Regional report authored by Halton commissioner of social services Bonnie Ewart The province is expected to pay the difference and the Region has no concerns that it won fulfill this expectation said Ms Ewart GEO OPT no NO ONE EVER REGRETTED BUYING QUALITY hours MARKET PLACE PLAZA Tubs OdO

age said Mayor Miller But even if the Memorial Arena has to be replaced the design of a new arena would depend on available funding If the public wants the land that is occupied by Memorial Arena turned into a park instead of sold to be developed the town would lose a major source of income to build a new arena said Mayor Miller And the town doesn t have money coming out of it s ears the mayor This kind of scenario could unfold in the near future because of the opposition from several Acton residents towards the town possibly allowing the Ac ton Old Stone School property to become part of a Regional profit housing project Although no decision has been made Mayor Miller predicted town council will decide not to sell the Old Stone School property to the Halton Region Non Profit Housing Authority because of the recent public outcry If this deci sion is made then another source of money is eliminated said Mayor Miller But the Mayor also speculated a large portion of townowned land in and around the Civic Centre once it s hooked up to the town water and sewage line could be sold for several million dollars Enough said the mayor that many of the towns capital projects could be easily funded The hookup could happen in two years said the mayor The seniors association chose the option of building the centre in partnership with the town over several other possibilities because its the least expensive option Mr Mellish argued it is more economical in the initial cost of the centre and in the ensuing operating costs to combine buildings that provide several different services Based on a 1988 town survey of the needs of seniors in Halton Hills Mr suggested the centre should be able to provide a range of services including space for social gatherings a lounge club meetings a fitness area a kitchen and an office RECYCLING II if all do t pari Please Remember to Recycle This Newspaper Spring Car Cleaning Special Interior Shampoo Hand Waxing Engine Shampoo REE Fabric 125 00
