They are also aimed at improving the fiscal developmnent of non-profit community and provincial organiza 'rons and the train- ing and development of their staff and volunteers. As the areas of culture and citizen- ship become more important to our way of life in Ontario, so does ensuring that our fun- ding programns reflect com- munity needs. To address this Iconcern, Minister of Citizen- shîp and Culture Susan Fish recently announced revisions to the Wintario programi grants criteria. The new criteria for fun- ding have been established after extensive consultation with representat ives of many pal at the provincial service associa- many other tions and community rus organizations. The Special Committe for the Arts, which was established last year, stressed the need to improve and strengthen the existing foundation of our artistic community: many of its recommendations have been incorporated into the new funding criteria as welI.

It doesn't matter how many times you have been able to visit your favourite park, a picnic or walk in the spring or autumn will undoubtedly reveal something new. Perhaps when y'ou are deciding your motor tour or bicycle route on a sunny Sun- day afternoon, you may want to include a drive to any one of the nearby provincial parks to view the spectacular faîl colours or have a picnic on a clear autumn day.

For the first time, librar)*s will be eligible under the category wlhlch includes the staging of special events,, festivals and exhibits in the area of arts, heritage and multiculturalism, and citizen- ship. Funding under this category for non-profit groups has been reinstated. The Ministry has also reinstated the "Art in Public Places and Art Acquisition" program. This program en- courages non-profit com- mnunity groups to purchase, commission or restore major art works and make them ac- cessible to the general public. It is also intended to help non-profit public, art galleries, libraries and com- munity information centres acquire Canadian art. Oiver the past ten years, we have seen a marked increase in Cultural activities in many areas. Our quality of life in this province is enhanced by a cultural industry that is open to ail Ontarians. The new funding criteria will promote the development of our cultural life at the community level for many years to corne.

Tushingham, Director of Education for the Nor- thumberland and Newcastle Board of Education, when addressing a meeting of thse Association for Brighit Children. Tushingham told his au- dience that teachers werc overwhelmed by ail kinds of new expectations. Every tinte there is a new program we ex- pect the saute group 'to tale on these new responsibilities.. The director admîtted that in some cases the two or thee computers in a public school remain idle because staff are not knowledgeable to, use them. He said the Ontario government's Bill 82 has also given schools addition-al responsibilities for educating disabled or bright children. Tushingham said even the best teachers are getting te the limit of what they can ab- sorb. He refuted teachers could be working harder even though they do get sizeable surmmer hiolidays.
