Child abuse? Divorce? General dissatisfaction with life? We all go through difficult times during our lives. Sometimes the problems are small and we weather them but sometimes we need pro- fessional help. The limited amount of services available in North Halton has often meant that our residents had to make the trip into Toronto, Guelph or south Halton to get the support they needed. Now, however, these concerns can be dealt with, in com- plete confidentiality, in our own communit Elayne Tanner, a qualified pro- fessional Social Worker and a resi- dent of the area, has recently opened an office in North Halton. Ms. Tanner has spent many years gaining the necessary qualifications and as a result, has not only under- graduate degrees in psychology and social work, but also a Master of Social Work degree, a graduate diploma in Social Administration and certification by the Ontario College of Certified Social INSTANT RESERVATIONS PEANADA 9000 Return Airfares from: Vancouver $329.- Calgary $319.- Edmonton $319.- Winnipeg $259.- Halifax $239.- St. Johns $269.- ‘Add Airport Tax & GST to above prices.

This oe back- ground, combined with 15 years of practical se tiet in diverse areas, gives Ms. Tanner a wide range of knowledge from which to draw. Along with individual, marriage and family counseling, Ms. Tanner has also worked extensively with child and adult survivors of sexual abuse, as well as with children experiencing behavior problems due to divorce, learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder. The use of play therapy to build self- esteem is an important component of the work that Ms. Tanner does with children. One issue that Ms. Tanner became aware of when assessing the needs of our community was the fact that, in a small town, peo- ple are concerned about being seen attending a psychotherapist’s office. Ms. Tanner’s easily accessi- ble office is in a rural setting where privacy is guaranteed. Elayne Tanner can be reached at 416-854-0801. New rules in real estate A new regulation adopted by the Canadian Real Estate Association requires real estate salespeople to give full disclosure to prospective home buyers. Salespeople must inform Prospective buyers directly that they are paid by. the vendor, and are therefore acting in the vendor’s best interest. This includes those employed by the brokerage that listed the house, and the brokerage that introduced the buyer to the property. At the same time, the regulation also requires real estate salespeople to treat purchasers fair and honest- ly, according to Richard Weima, president of the Oakville, Milton and District Real Estate Board. “Agency disclosure is just one more assurance to the public of our commitment to integrity and ethi- cal behavior.
