Places I'Ve Dane Time by Clifford Francis The Orange 'Walk While scanning through the local paper, I read that the Orangemen are having their parade in the Village of Ororio again this year. That announcement brought back many memories--pleasant memories--pleasant and otherwise! The first Orange Parade that I remember attending was when I was about fourteen fourteen or fifteen years old. It was held in Lindsay, Ontario and it was wonderfhl with all the bands and folks marching in their bright uniforms keeping keeping time with the music. I sure wanted to join that organization, but someone said I had to be sixteen. The next time I asked about it, I was told it was open to all Protestants of good character and so that let me out. I never became part of the Orange Order but over the years I attended many of their parades. I was, and still am, a staunch supporter of the Orange Parades. I travelled all over Ontario to go to an Orange "walk". I remember a couple of parades vividly and others vaguely--and some not at all. One that I do remember was a parade in Peterborough. We went by boat from Bewdley and enjoyed the parade and the day fully. When we went back to the boat, the locks were closed for the night so we had to stay overnight in Peterborough in the Queen's Hotel. We had a great time that night and left on the boat the next morning for Bewdley. On our way back, the Captain got sea sick and puked his new false teeth overboard. We all stpod and laughed as we watched his teeth float to the bottom. Another time while in Çobourg, I was in the hotel watching the parade when a fight started. I climbed up on the table to get a better view of both and someone threw me out the window. I landed out on the street just in time for King Billy's horse to step on me--I wasn't badly hurt. All in all, I believe that the Loyal Orange association is a wonderful one. They have served in every major war, helped people of all faiths and sponsored many service organizations for children and the elderly and otherwise. Last year the parade was held in Orono and it was a good one. Come on out on the 12th and see another good parade--7:30 p.m. on the main street. See you there! 6 month closed 3 years closed 5 years closed Variable Rate • ratr.s subjr.it to change without notin' DUCA Financial Services 4.50% 5.35% 6.35% 3.75% Whitby Brandi: 1818 Blindas St.E.

"We have physicians coming, we also have physicians leaving, plus, we have incredible growth in the area," she said. Clarington is now applying applying to the the Province to be declared an 'underserviced area'. When the number of patients per family doctor in an area exceeds 1,380, that area can be declared underserviced underserviced by the Ministry of Health.

In May and June of last year, the Ministry of Health announced an increase in medical school enrollment by 30%, the creation of a northern northern medical school, an increase of post-graduate training positions in northern and rural communities, and plans to streamline and more than double the province's capacity to assess, train and licence foreign-trained doctors. doctors. The government says this alone could produce up to 90 additional foreign-trained physicians requiring sponsorship sponsorship by underserviced communities. communities. "Our key mission now, is to work on training, recruitment recruitment and retention--keeping the doctors we already have," stated Hunter."
