Queen’s Park Report By NOEL DUIGNAN Halton-North MPP Here’s some good news for three groups and young people in Halton North. ilton Community & Information Services, Esquesing Historical Society, and Halton Hills LACAC all recently received grants under the Experience 92 Program to help en ue young people for summer job: Community-based, Sarai groups and province-wide umbrella organizations dealing with arts, heritage, community information services, or archives fall within the mandate of the program.

We're thinking about allowing the use of credit cards in grocery stores, LCBO outlets, and Beer Stores. The marketplace is chang- ing and many consumers now rely cluding credit cards, for their purchases. Credit cards are already accepted at a number of smaller supermarkets (Dutch Boy in Kitchener-Waterloo for example), at department stores which sell both food items and consumer goods (Bi-Way for example), at drug stores, at specialty cheese or cepted at winery retail stores, duty free shops and licensed establish- ments for beverage alcohol purchases. Since 1974 the government and retailers would not accept credit is in grocery stores. (This agree- ment has never applied to smaller convenience stores and specialty stores.) The grocers recently ex- pressed an interest in offering credit cards to their customers to improve customer service. They felt that this would particularly benefit grocery stores in border com- munities. In the U.S. there are no Saree on using credit cards and beverage purchases. I atould point out that this is not a priority item for our government. There’s been no timeframe set for deciding whether or not to change the policy but I’m interested in hearing your views. If you feel strongly about it, one way or the other, please call my Milton office at 878-1729 Tuesdays through Fridays. There’s one last item I’d like to mention - our new wetlands policy. It requires municipalities to restrict development in these areas under their official plans and zoning bylaws. The policy caine into effect on June 27th. Good news for places like Silver Creek Valley in Georgetown. New home for Guild After five years and three loca- tions, the North Halton Literacy Guild has settled in new quarters in Georgetown.
