That's not to say, however, that there haven't been some complaints about the cuts the Tories are making, and speed with which they're going about it.

Committee sets up injury prevention group in area "Motor vehicle collisions in the northern townships of Durham Region are more catastrophic than in the rest of the region," says Frank Murphy, a member of Community In- jury Prevention of North Durham. "More people are killed and injured here, even though the number of col- lisions is proportionally the same. Also, more young drivers are involved than in the more populat- ed southern portion of Durham." These statistics prompt- ed a number of local groups to form an injury prevention group, Com- munity Injury Prevention of North Durham, a coali- tion of representatives from the Durham Region- al Police Services, the Durham Region Health Department, local high school teachers and stu- dents, the Head Injury As- sociation of Durham Re- gion, Community Addictions Services, the Ministry of Transporta- tion, State Farm Insu- rance, parents and other concerned citizens. The group has received a Ministry of Health grant to carry out injury preven- tion activities in our four local high schools (Cart- wright, Brock, Uxbridge and Port Perry High COURIER SERVICE CANPAR DEPOT AT THE A Rr VfficeC entre 188 Mary St, Port Perry 985-7383 Schools)... .
