"A Family Tradition for 133 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, March 2, 1999 - 1 'Council Building on last year's win of a top award from Landscape Ontario, Scugog Shores Historical Museum is promoting the Port Perry area with an added flourish this spring by participating in the upcoming "Canada Blooms" festival. The museum's display will highlight its award- winning plans for their new native Ojibway Heritage Interpretive Lands featuring wild plants traditionally used by local Ojibway for food, medicine and spiritual purposes. Work on this project is being shared with the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. By recreating a natural area on the museum's grounds typical of the Lake Scugog basin prior to settlement, the initia- tive will provide a unique and valuable resource for gardeners, educators and historical enthusiasts alike. While the project is still in the research and plan- ning stage, the museum hopes to break ground in the coming months and looks forward to intro- ducing visitors to the wild green space by mid-sum- mer. This year's Canada Blooms show will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Center from March 10 to 14, and expects to attract over 100,000 visitors with flower and garden dis- plays put together by groups from across Canada. Booths in the non-com- mercial area of Canada Blooms are limited, and many groups from Port Perry are involved in making the Scugog Shores Historical Museum's pres- ence at the show a suc- cess, including Scugog Economic Development Officer Jim McMillen and BIA presi- dent Gareth Granger.

Healthcare is Canadians' most cherished program. That's why over the next five years, we're committing an additional $11.5 billion to healthcare. This investment will provide the provincial and territorial governments with substantially more money to deal with critical healthcare concerns, such as emergency room delays and waiting lists for surgery. At the same time, we're investing $1.4 billion into other health priorities like prevention and research for new treatments and cures. Canadians deserve a healthcare system they can depend on. We know there's still a lot of work to do, but we're committed to getting the job done, no matter what it takes.
