Surviving parenthood You may have heard about us. Because we are workin; to improve the way in which the provincial government works, working to reduce taxes, working for fairness. Behind the scenes at Queens Park, the provincial bureau- cracy is planning to increase provincial control over Ontario property owners by creating and extending Provincial Commissions. A provincial commission is a special body appointed by the provincial govern- ment, that makes elected municipal governments much less effective, adds a new layer of government that is not elected, doubles and triples the cost of gov- ernment, increases the power of the provincial gov- ernment bureaucracy, oper- ates behind the scenes with little public scrutiny, and creates opportunity for favourtism and patronage. We have all seen the most conspicuous examples of this type of provincial gov- ernment device: the Greater Toronto Authority, (GTA), the Niagara Escarpment Commission, (NEC). If nothing is done to stop this trend, the people of southern Ontario will soon have other Commissions created by the fertile imagination of senior bureaucrats in Toronto. You can remove from office any member of a municipal council at the With your help we North Burlingt mi vinciall austen no matter how extrava- gant, no matter how ineffi- cient, no matter how expensive, no matter how unfair the commission is. Most of us only get upset when government directly impacts our lives. In August, 1991, 17 people, like you, from different parts of Ontario, found themselves in the same room at a hearing called by such a commission, the NEC. Today, we number over 600 members from the Region of Niagara to Collingwood. By joining with us, you can increase your own power to protect your right to effective government. powerful message to Bob Rae. Who are We? We are the Niagara mi Coalition, a coalition of landowners from Niagara to lake Huron including John Howard, the owner of a small grape farm and estate winery in Vineland, Scott Chudleigh, apple grower and pie baker in Milton, Stuart Marwick, former pro- fessor of Environmental Studies at York University, homeowner in Chatsworth, George Tidd from the Hidden Lake Golf Club in Robert Advertorial IT'S EASY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COST OF GOVERNMENT can do something about it. Jan. 18 — Are you a frazzled parent? The Parenting Today in Our Community Committee is offering a parent information evening at Centennial Middle School from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Jan.

Financial planning seminar Jan. 20— A free financial plan- ning seminar will be held at the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown who took over his father's farm near Orangeville, Don Mcllveen of Scarborough, Tepresenting ski clubs throughout northern Ontario, David and Debbie Pape, homeowners in Campbellville, Kent and Lois McClure, owners of a small rural estate develop- ment in Halton Hills and hundreds of people like them. How does this relate ites? Your best protection for local interest comes not from the provincial govern- ment but from elected municipal government. For example, when the province of Ontario wanted to run an expressway across the escarpment and through Red Hill Creek Valley, the NEC sat quietly on the side. We believe that when the Provincial Government wants something, the provincial agencies will be told what to do by the senior bureaucrats. Strong and effective municipal govern- ment is the most secure pro- tection for the interest of homeowners throughout Ontario. The hard truth is that Commissions are appointed by provincial cab- inet ministers, not elected by the affected citizens. Local citizen groups such as our coalition, working with strong municipal govern- nts are the best protection ts. n a4 From the first day, our Coalition has stood for effective protection of the visible escarpment. We have strongly opposed the activi- ties of the Niagara Escarpment Commission because of lack of fairness, lack of accountability, and its application of vague tules. on the Bruce Trail?
