It's a concept that has been used in the United States, but not often in Canada. The Curator is especially interested in how the bequests might apply to museums. "Just about any kind of groups could benefit from this, and as reluctant as I am to give credit to the Americans, Americans, the arts groups should have done this years ago," Jackman added. The policy which Jackman has written is one that will see the museum through hard times and help it to grow not only in programs but, perhaps, perhaps, in the realm of expanded expanded buildings. He would like to see the idea applied to both Claring- ton museums, because "the grants won't last forever." "This is the way of the future future for every arts and related group -- the writing is on the wall, it is time to live within our means," Jackman said. The long term planned giving policy took Jackman seven months to research thoroughly and put together for the museum board. In the policy package given given to Clarington Council Monday, Sept. 16, it is noted that "planned giving is directed directed towards individuals who understand the museum's need and have the means to help.

Durham Nurses Prepare for Hospital Integration Durham Region Hospitals and the Ontario Nurses' Association Association (ONA) have reached an agreement on severance arrangements arrangements in the event of lay-offs due to mergers of hospital hospital programs. The understanding reached on September 16 in Port Perry means a nurse laid off from any of the six public hospitals hospitals across Durham can expect first consideration for any job vacancies which arise in the region and maintain full credit for hospital service and seniority if hired by any of the hospitals. "With implementation of the District Health Council's Acute Care Study still pending, and the province's Hospital Restructuring Commission encouraging regional integration, it will be essential to have agreements such as this in place to clarify the rights of displaced employees," said John Kuhne, Kuhne, spokesperson for the hospitals' negotiating team.

Ron Collis, Chair of the committee, was offered a staff member to lead the committee committee through the so called "nuts and bolts" of organizing organizing a Youth Council and Advisory Advisory Board. Prior to that, Collis had asked why council would not make a commitment to the committee by endorsing their recommendations.
