A NOTE FROM A CONCERNED PARENT As winter spqrts organize for .the 76-77 season one of our readers and a local sports fan has suggested that parents 'of these young athletes take a good look at the accident insurance programme offe- ed through Frank Cowan Insurance. The application forms are distributed through the schools to each family. The local hockey teams do have a basic plan and a , number of people in this area have a dental plan, but the year-round accident insurance insurance offered by this firm is one of the most comprehensive bn the market. The premium,is relatively inexpensive, particularly particularly considering the , exposure in organized sports today.

Culture and Recreation Minister Robert Welch, said provincial funds will come from a special Win- lario program and through The Community Recreation Centres Act. The remaining 25 per cent is to be raised" through public subscription. subscription. "As a result," he said,' "municipal tax rates should not be affected by the arena problem and communities communities can move .ahead with the necessary repairs almost immediately." In a joint statement, Mr. Welch and Labour Minister Bette Stephenson, whose ministry is responsible for safety standards, expressed expressed confidence that the special grant program will greatly minimize any disruption of sports activities activities that could have resulted if municipalities had been unable to make the necessary structural changes. Mr. Welch and Dr. Stephenson also expressed optimism that ' their programs programs will assist the children of Ontario to skate and play hockey with the highest possible assurance of safety in arenas in this province.■ ' Dr. Stephenson said that of the 191 arenas with known structural defects, municipalities have indicated indicated some will be demolished and some wilj be repaired. To date, 46 communities have already had their plans for repair certified by the ministry. In all, 415 suspect arenas have been visited by Ministry of Labour staff.

In a letter to all operators of suspect arenas, Dr. Stephenson has stated: "1 realize, of course, that the closure of an arena could have a serious effect on the recreational and social activities of your community this winter, but I believe that we have a mutual obligation to ensure that an arena does not pose a hazard ter those who use it." Both Mr. Welch and Dr. Stephenson* expressed the hope that all arenas can make the required repairs or changes as quickly as possible. The revised grant pro- ORONO gram will provide 25 per cent of the cost of any repairs up to $75,000 for each facility affected through The Community Recreation Centres Act.
