From this large group, it is hoped to recruit or elect members for a local social planning committee to meet as re- quired in order to provide advice and recommenda- tions to a Durham Region Social 'Planning Advisory Group. This Social Planning Council Advisory Group will be made up of volunteer representation elected or ap- pointed from each of five geographic areas of popula- tion. The Social Planning Coun- cils of Oshawa-Whitby, and of Ajax-Pickering, and the Family Life Association of Beaverton-Cannington, re- present three areas of the Region. It is hoped to estab- lish a representative and informed group of volunteers from the northern area (Bro- ck, Scugog, and Uxbridge) and from the eastern area (Newcastle, Bowmanville, Orono and Clarke), who will provide a continuing local voice in. social welfare mat- ters.
