Ceremony kicdks off Big Brothers month The Municipality of Clarington joins commîînities across the country this montb in recognition of the important robe a Big Brother plays in a young persons ife. Events througbout the month wiIb include a kite festival, thc 4th annual chîldren's pet show and many other exciting activities. Big Brothers of Newcastle (Clarington) wibb .be using tbis by Ross Stevenson MP for Durham, Having spent a good part of my aduit life in universities, first as a student an d then as a professor, 1 was delighted to bear of the major improvemnents plannecl for Canada's Student Loans Programns. That's an extremely important program which bas made it possible for literally hundreds of thousands of young Canadians to continue their education beyond the secondary school level. In announcing the reforms, Prime Minister Kim Campbell noted that she is one of the many who simply wouldn't have been able to go on' to university without a student Idan. 1The boan program currently belps about,250,000 students eachý year. Like any long-standing program, this one hasn't kept up witb the times. Loan lîmits don't recognize the 30 per cent cost of living increase for students over the past five years. While part- time study becomes more common and necessary, such students arent covered adequately. And some who really need loans either cannot qualify or don't receive enough help. Over the next four years, the boan'reforms will provide more than $4 billion in aid for students - - an increase of $1 billion. Starting next year, boan limits will be raised to $5,100 per year from $3,500 for fuli-time stuÏdents, and to $4,000 from $2,500 for those studying part-time. Deferred grants and interest relief will be provided for neediest students, to help keep their de.bt loads at a manage'able level. Special opportunities are to bc offered to the disabled, to people such as single paren ts who often are shut out of the systemn, and for women taking doctoral programs, particubarly in science, special Montb to launcb an ail out recruitmenh effort aimed at reacbing more 'adult men volunteers to meet the neects ol boys in our community. According to Executive Director Nancy Scott, 20 boys have already been matched, but, 10 more are still on the waiting list. Increasing number of children are, growing up in single-parent households; over a million and a quarter children across the nation today live with onlyone parent. Often their needs are more than one individual can meet. For nearly tbree decades, Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada and its member agencieslias been concemned with helping these kids make it. Friendship, understanding, a sense of self- worth are the gains of the child. Most Big Brother volunteers maintain that they receive more benefits from the relationship' than they give, and that the knowledge that tlhey are needed and the joys of the good times spent with their young friends make the experience one of the most valuable in their lives. During the upcoming month, Mayor Diane Hamire will ask the men of our community if tbey can spare a little time 'each week to make 1993 better for some young boy. The 'number to cati for more information, or to vobunteer, is mathematies and engineering. More efficient financing and administration will reduce operating costs, while also allowing more successful pursuit of boan defaulters, wbo now owe the program more than $1 billion. When those former students who can afford to, repay their boans don't, in effect they are depriving today's students of support they need. The improved boans program is part of a package to mnake our young people better prepared for the challenges of the future. As pant of a plan to have ail Canadian schools inter-connected electronically, old government computer systems are being donated and links established to world- wide communications and technology networks. A new education tax credit wil increase help for those studying fuli-time and also provide child care expense deductions for single parents studying part-time. The package includes management training and counselling for your people starting up new businesses, with partial guarantees for loans to get their enterprises going. Anyone familiar with governiment oreducation will recognize that ail this requires extensive co-operation with provincial and local governments as well as business, labour, and our teacbîng institutions. SOur young people's educational needs cant be solved simply by throwing more money at them. Right now throughout Canada we are spending approximately $55 billion each year on education and training. On a per capita basis, thats more than virtually'any of tbe other industrial countries. The answer for our future is not spending more, but spending smarter.
