In addition, regional council indicated last Wednesday that a statement expressing the Durham region's desii' to employ local labox- will be included in, regional tender documents. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard, chairman of the Durham Region's public works committee, said that at the present time it 'is Durham's unofficial policy to encourage local hiring. He told xiegional council at the meeting ln Whitby ,that contractors are encouraged to employ local residents by "'word of mouth.", "This is basically what's goîng on at the present tîme," Mayor Rickai'd said. Referring to the council resol- ution wbich would set a firm policy on hiring, Mayor Rickard saîd "I think it is quite in order for us to do this. " Councillor Alan Dewar said a policy similar to the one under debate last week was already working in Peterbor- ough and Oshawa. Councillor John DeHart, who proposed the policy in a resolution to council said that if just 25 or 30 persons'.were removed from unemployment rolîs or welfare rolîs as a resuit of local hiring, then it would be worthwhile. The resolution endorsed by the region last week noted that "'welfare and unemployment rolîs are a concern to regional council." t added that "ýcouncil is concerned with the lack of opportunities residents have of being employed on regional contracts. 1Not all councillors support- ed Durham's stand on local hiring., Councillor ;Alex Robertson said that if someone were to challenge the issue in court it migbt be found that the policy is not valid. "I think it's a political game we'i'e playing," he said. The resolution on the regional hii'ing policy was endorsed on a recorded vote of 17-13. Ennits killien lers on Mr. and Mrs. Len Stainton.
