Day Set Aside to Honor Workers Killed on Job Durham Regional Council Council has decided April 28 will be recognized as a day of mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. Jim Woodward, president of the Durham Regional Labour Labour Council, said the day isn't just for unionized workers, workers, noting that non- unionized workers also are hurt on the job. April 28, he explained, is designed to remember those who died, were disabled or inflicted with industrial diseases. diseases. "We are asking to lower the flag to half mast to rec ognize the people who have died in this region," he said. He noted that in 1986, nine people in the Durham Region were in an industrial accident or became afflicted with an industrial disease. In 1987 that number was eight while in 1988 the number number jumped to 12. In total, he said, since 1986, 34 workers have been injured or killed on the job in the Durham Region. Pickering Councillor Doug Dickerson asked why they couldn't remember the injured workers on Labour Day each September. "Labour Day is celebrat ing the fact that labor has made gains through the year," he said. He noted that the day was not intended as a time to remember those who died on the job. Another councillor was concerned the Day of Mourning Mourning would be used in bargaining bargaining for contracts, but Mr. Woodward said at this time, that is not the intent. "All we are trying to do is heighten awareness to the fact that people die on the job," Mr. Woodward added. Regional Council agreed to officially recognize the day. will learn something from the industry," Mr. Veldhuis added. This fair will be the first of its kind in the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education schools. The environmental science science committee at the school felt an environment-oriented fair should be held and decided decided this year to combine it with the annual science fair and bring industry and the science program together. "Part of my personal philosophy philosophy is that too often industry industry and education are operating operating in isolation," Mr. Veldhuis said. This fair will provide the opportunity for each to see what the other is doing. The public is also invited to attend the fair during the hours it is open. Mr. Veldhuis said he is looking forward to a strong turnout at the event. "If we can convert two or three people to think about the environment in a different different way, in a positive way, then we've accomplished , something," he concluded. 3 Out of 10 Canadian Students Drop Out... And We All Pay The Price 1 Every year, 3 out of 10 Canadian students drop out before finishing high school... And they realize all too soon that it isn't as easy as they thought. The fact is, over the next few years, the majority of new jobs will require a high school education as a minimum. Without it, young people simply won't have the choices, the Dropping out is no way out. opportunities or freedom they're looking for. When 30% drop out...over 100,000 students a year...it affects everyone -- parents, educators, employers^ Canadian society as a whole. Making sure that young people stay in school is important for all of us...and more important today than ever before. Let's do something about it. Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Minister of State Ministre d'État for Youth à la Jeunesse Canada What to look for when buying a new home. AS a builder, people always ask me, "How do I know my new home will be built to the highest standards?" It's a good question. Because while all homes are built to building code standards, there is only one type of home that's been given a special designation because it exceeds the building code to make It more energy efficient. efficient. In fact, It's so energy efficient that Ontario Hydro highly recommends it. It's called the R2000 home. Seen from the street It looks like any other home. So what makes It so special? It's the way it's built. For example, R2000 homes are constructed with a greater attention to detail, This creates a more comfortable, even temperature In your home that also eliminates drafts and cold spots. And because of extra insulation and good quality doors and windows, R2000 homes reduce noise from neighbours . and outside traffic. Is clean, fresh air important to you and your family? The R2000 home lets you control the ventilation In your home. For example, you don't have to open the window for fresh air, the ventilation system will ensure a continuous continuous supply at all times by exhausting the stale Indoor air and replacing It with frcsli outdoor air. But there is one tiling you must know. Builders must receive special training to build R2000 homes. And to ensure your home is built to official R2000 standards, it is Individually Inspected and given Its own certificate. So look for the R2000 symbol, It's your way of knowing that the home you buy Is a better built home. For more information about R20Q0 homes, call the certified R2000 builder listed below.
