Shie added tlhat a similar meeting called for Oshiawa wuuld hiave an eveni sinaller ai tendanice in aIl probability. Mrs. Shiaw was part icularly incensed that Oshiawa lias nuot seen lfil 10 schiedule public meetings uni the subject te this date.

Mrs. Shaw said she will be attending ahl of the meetings being held in Whitby. "We are coming to the final crunch in this imatter of regional government," she said. "I wuuld be remniss if 1 did flot attempt to gel the feel utf all ut the citizens of the poten- tial fiew region. "While 1 annul a taxpayer ini Whiîby 1 feel cumpelled lu know huw yourr people are thinking. 1, persunally cari hardly wait until next Octu- ber when a regional election is expected tu take place. 1 certainly will be a contestant for a regiunal seat represent- ing the City ut'Oshawa." Mrs. Shiaw said she agreed whule-hecartedly with Whit- by's cunten lion îthey should have a struniger represeniiationi un the regional council. "Thiere is nu way the May- ur and twu regional council- lors can do an adequate job ut representing the 25,000 residents ini Witby.
