The Halton Region Sup- portive Housing Program is a Community Outreach pro- gram of Allendale. The pro- gram, which began in Mil- ton in October 1995 in two seniors' buildings managed by the Halton Housing Au- thority -- the Bruce Apart- ments (40 Ontario St.) and Harmony Court (111 Ontario St.) -- was provided the op- ' portunity to enhance the services available through the Ministry of Health's re- investment in community services funding. On-site personal support services were implemented at both buildings in December 1997. These services are provided through a contract with Red Cross Homemakers. The Ministry of Health has defined the role of Sup- portive Housing and the cli- ents eligible to receive serv- ices. Priority individuals are those who daily require serv- ices including personal sup- port, reassurance checks and essential homemaking, in order to remain in the com- munity. Examples are: assist- ance with bathing, dressing, « meal preparation, medication reminders and household tasks. Those interested in the program must first apply to the Halton Housing Author- ity. The opportunity to iden- tify support needs is done through the application proc- ess. Applications can be accessed by calling 849- 8383, ext: 233. <> Home WAsige Contre Dekswood DECK CLEANER $Q99 (946 ml) Reg. ate $379 (3.7 L) Benjamin Moore <> Purchase Both Products Together and Receive a FR DECK STAIN 129% Thurs-Fri 9-8 Sat 9-4 130 Mill St. E.

Region cuts Pegasus service Milton and Oakville (includ- ing Sheridan College). The original Pegasus bus' was re- tired and replaced to include wheelchair and ambulatory seating. The Transit Team has rec- ommended to Halton Re- ae Council that the 18,159 unconditional grant and the 1998 capital alloca- tion of $13, , to Council. The Halton Area Services Review Steering Committee does not support the additional funding to the Pegasus of $16,201 for 1998. "T'm disappointed it's be- ing terminated before we see what effect the new semester at Sheridan College on pas- senger count, as well as some of the adult students going to E.C. Drury during the day when the school buses are not going there," said Ted Tyler of Tyler Transport. "We are looking at the possibility of operating a similar type serv- ice, but it is very difficult to generate enough revenue without some form of a sub- sidy, like most public trans- portation in Ontario such as GO Transit." The Pegasus service pro- vided work for five part-time drivers, office and vehicle maintenance staff. The last day for service is July 31.
