Toppers not included. THE OAKVILLE BEAVER GRANDE CLASSIQUE CUSTOM MINI BLINDS Health often tied to income level (Continued from page 1) said Dr. Nosal. However, the latest trend in medical circles calls for a shift of money spent on medical care to health prevention and proâ€" motion to maximize the investment. Dr. Nosal pointed to the cutback of approximately 150 hospital beds in Halton. "We‘re managing," he said. "The answer is being made for us. We have no money," he said. The doctor underlined the five main goals of health as outlined by the province. These include shifting Eastman was recommending that antiâ€"racism campaigns, much like the Say No to Violence programs, should be given high profile in the community. She also advocated social service agencies removing potential barriers to immigrants and incorporating sensitivity training for staff. Oakville councillor, Bill Logan, broached the subject that some may see mulâ€" ticulturalism as a quality not needed in Canada, that newcomers should strive to be Canadian. Antonakos was hired after a federal heritage grant was given to a group of seven Halton organizations working toward change. The Halton partnership includes the Region, Halton‘s public and Catholic school boards, the Halton Children‘s Aid Society, Halton Regional Police Service, and Halton Multicultural Council. Eastman said most agencies are not discriminatory, but ignorance is a major barrier with many insensitive to culture, race, and language differences. As an example, she said an action like ruffling a child‘s hair or saying "Come here" can be an insult to a Vietnamese person. Maria Antonakos â€" coâ€"ordinator of the Halton Partnership for Multicultural/Antiâ€"Racist Organizational Change â€" said even when newcomers are willing to give up some of their language or culture to fit in, it‘s still often the case the effort breaks down with the host country not willing to embrace the newcomer. "That‘s contrary to all demographics and statistics. Multiculturalism is a fact. It‘s a reality, not something to choose or to keep or throw away," Antonakos said. (Continued from page 1) Asian , West Asian and Arab. Racial minorities will make up about 15% of Ontario‘s population. The major barriers may not be language differences, but those of culture and faith. A typical systemic barrier may be an employer‘s advertisement for a job opening in English newspapers. "We‘re changing, but I‘m wondering if, perhaps, it‘s too much. Does Canada have to lose its identity completely," queried Scholtens. Nor did Scholtens‘ scrutiny of the issue stop there. He said racism stemmed from things like media reports on violence and the race of criminals. That opened the door for Eastman to criticize the media for bringing audiences "selective facts." "We may not realize what may be offensive, but I‘m not sure we should always be blaming ourselves for not knowing what‘s correct," challenged comâ€" mittee chair and Burlington councillor Ralph Scholtens. The councillor said he wasn‘t sure if he knew of Chinese or Portuguese newspapers and said, "I‘m not sure if I have to know. If a person wants a job, isn‘t it the person who should read the paper?" There‘s also been a shift in what the medical profession sees as determinants of health. "The number one reason someâ€" one is healthy is a healthy income, wellâ€"paying jobs," said Dr. Nosal, adding this puts Halton in good shape. In his presentation on Halton‘s health care costs, Dr. Nosal noted the emphasis to health promotion and disease prevention; fostering strong, supportive families and communities, ensuring a safe, qualiâ€" ty physical environment, increasing life expectancy and quality, and providing affordable, accessible health services for all.
