will be less formal than pre vious ones may be launched or Monday according to ICG spokesman John Minns Mr Minns said members of the group are writing down their concerns and complaints about how they have been by Ontario Hydro As of Tuesday about documents had been prepared another dozen to be fliuhed We ro going to try f some Hon with cabinet to see f they ate our point of view Mr M We realize we are run ning out of time Many Milton and Ho I ton Hills landowners are ICG members Some of the 500 V towers have been built within Halton Hills jurisdiction The appeal to cabinet comes in the wake of a recent Supreme Court of Ontario decision not to In volve itself in the controversy The court was making a Judicial review of last January On tar Municipal Board decision which permitted Ontario Hydro to build the north south corridor in Hills People are still more determined because of the nondecision of the courts to establish some public accountability for Ontario Hydro said Mr Minns The appeal to cabinet is being based on how the Actons boat people caught in red tape Red tape holding up I he arrival of Actons Vietnamese refugee family The family at this time nol chosen by Canadian migration was due to arrive some time in October but Bruce head of group sponsoring the family received word could lake four or five months Mrs Bruce blames Ihc Canadian immigration department for the hold up SheexpIaincdOakvillereceivedlhe same Idler she d regarding the hold up and that same day got a call saying their sponsored famll would be arriving the next day She hopes her group has at least two week but pointed out lie group had asked for the same amount of notice Several Acton families have banded together to sponsor refugees and are currently getting together donations of clothing and hopefully accomodations However until there is some word as to the ages of the family members people are hesitant to give things away The family consisted of children ages years old to who had lost track of heir parents while fleeing Vietnam This type of family Mrs Bruce pointed out Mould have different needs than one with parents children and maybe grandparents Several people in who speak Cantonese have stepped forward to help Mrs Bruce when time comes act as an interpreter However she said there s not even any way of knowing whether Acton long awaited residents will speak this or some other language Volunteers are needed not only to donate clothing and accommodations but also those who can lake a few min to sit down with the family members and help them understand the English language It is estimated about one to two mil lion people have fled Vietnam this year Some gave up every penny they had to buy their family passage on boats that vere seaworthy When they got to the Malaysia they were turned back left to starve or drown on leaky descase infested boats Some per cent of these refugees are reputed to lave died at sea half of these being under years of age Families have been separated Child ren have watched as parents died and parents watched helplessly as I heir young died yet nations lake forever processing necessary papers to admit just one person Mrs Bruce says At the present time there is no way of knowing when the family is arrive or how many people will be brought but group is working unceasingly to have most things organized before the arrival Wear
