'! Councillors Keep Their Promise to Hospitals and College From page 1 first place. It is only a small token." He noted the money is seen as the Region accepting accepting its role as a supporter of hospitals in the Region and "it's starting to show that the Region is involved." Looking at the educational educational donation to the Durham College University Centre through the multi- million-doliar Creating Futures fund-raising campaign, campaign, a number of councillors councillors wanted to a see the $350,000 annual donation kept. Durham Region has a five-year commitment to give the college $350,000 ) ■ UNITY "THE EARTH IS BUT ONE COUNTRY AND MANKIND ITS, CITIZENS ... LET NOT A MAN GLORY IN THIS, THAT HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY; LET HIM RATHER GLORY IN THIS, THAT HE LOVES HIS KIND..." "THE WELLBEING WELLBEING OF MANKIND, ITS PEACE AND SECURITY, ARE UNATTAINABLE UNLESS AND UNTIL ITS UNITY IS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED." ...

Councillor Jim McMaster of Ajax noted, "it's not whether or not it (the campaign) is a valid thing -- it's not a business we should be involved in. It will be a great day when the centre opens -- I'd love to sec it." When asked by Councillor Scott Crawford of Ajax about last year's first installment and how it was spent, Chief Administrative Officer Gary Cubitt replied: "The original initial payment went towards capital and development development expenditures to bring the college up to university university technical standards. "The money is meant to be the Region's contribution ■ in what has become a total community endeavour. OUT commitment is a $350,000 (per annum) over a five- year period," Cubilt said. Parish, who spoke out against the hospital contingency contingency fund, also spoke against money being spent on the college fund. "Hospitals arc good. Universities are good. But that's not the issue. Who properly pays for higher education institutions? It's the province. "The government has told us that our new mandates mandates arc revenue neutral. But they're not by 15 per cent to the negative," said Ajax's mayor. "We have a responsibility responsibility to take out what isn't a part of our mandate...part of our core services." Those speaking in support support of the move to keep the college donation in this year's budget said they were looking at the future of young people in the Region. "This is probably the single single most important issue this council has to deal with. Post-secondary education in Durham is far behind other Regions," said Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs. Arthurs cautioned that Durham could become the "back-water Region" if the funding were defeated. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle observed: "One of the things that we are obliged obliged to do for our residents is to create a well-rounded community." At the end of the debate, there was a tic vote on deleting deleting the hospital contingency fund This means the move to eliminate liie hospital contribution was defeated. In other words, money will go into the fund, subject to approval in the budget process. There was stronger sup : port for the $350,000 donation donation to Creating Futures. The contribution will stay in the budget, thanks to a 23-2 vote.
