The Throne Speech, read by Lieutenâint Gov- ernor John- Black Aird, Iprovincial priorities, in- Icluding expanded com- munity and. support ser- vices'te the elderly and increased eniphasis on efficiency within the public service. Much 0f'the speech, however, was devoted te goverm'ent, -actions aimed at ensuring an "enduring economie re- covery" for Ontarians through close co- operation with, and sup- port'for the private sec- toi'. One of the govern- ment's top priorities wil be to "create the proper clinate for the private sector to foster economie growth, to complement the efforts9 Mf business and industry J through appropriate9 plans and programs,4 and to assist citizens1 who, for whatever rea-1 sons, reqùire help in finding appropriate job opportunities within the à workforce."'y To achieve those ob-a jectives, the govern- t ment of PremierL William Davis outlined c a series of short and C long-terni activities that will support and sustain t strong econornic growth C, in the province. Thiesen include:n - A three-part pro- gram including the May Budget and, additional elemients te be announe- ed by ývarions ministers, that .wlll emphasize job creation, expand sup- port to citizens and en- hance management of 'the province's affairs; -Increased emphasis on .manpower .training at both the community, college level and in in- dustrial settings;, - Major new projects maximizing high tech- nology, àcluding fusion fuel; ,inter-regional transit;, agricultural assistance in Northe 'rn Ontar 'io;, manufacturing. and marketing of pollu- tion .abatement ' equip- ment; development of a Canadian scholol micro- computer and software; and tourism; - Measures te in- crease the international competitiveneassof Ont- ario inclustries, includ- ing the agricultural sec- tor, as. a means of creating additional em- ployment and increas- ing corporate and per- sonal income; - Initiatives to stimulate the' housing industry te ensure that housing policies are sensitive te the needs of ail Ontarians, in parti- cular t1enants, senior citizens, single-parent famies& and disabled persons- - Conâlnuing efforts to convinco. the Federal government of the need to proteet the domestie automobile industry througb the restriction in the niamber of foreign cars allowed inte, Canada; - A renewed request bfat the Prime Miister ail a First Ministers' meeting on the econo- MY. __kn_ Aar: Btorm water management. For the flrst time in Whltby It would be neceusary to bulld retention pon- ds. This wlll ensure that in the event of a severe storni or pcrlods of stornis, homes and businesses In the lands soutb of Rossland Road would not become flooded. Provldlng that we can be assured that storm water would not becorne a hazard regards safety, life-threatenlng, or Injurlous to property, the Town and developer wlll work together for an open- ing of these developments for some tume in 1986. As the Chairman of the Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority, I arn hoping rny readers will take advantage of the rnany recreational and con- servation areas where this local authorlty has hold. ings. One of these is Heber Down Conservation Area in Whtby north. In this beautiful spring weather, which Is flnally corne to us, a walk, picnic, or perhape camping would be a most pleasutable way to while away an afternoon. (I read Thoreau.) For information on the conservation areas eaUl 579- 0411. Speaking 0f.spring, Couneil bas approved the re- building of some of our roads, even though no mat- ter how many repairs and rebuilds are budgeted no arnount seerns enough. Seven years ago, Council decided not to debenture road re-construction, and I agree with this policy. We must pay as we go!l While it May seern to take a little longer for the less damaged roadways to be rebuilt, at least the tax- payers are not saddied wlth paying debentures off, especially with what interest rates have been in 1981/82.' Developrnent in Port Whitby is rnoving further away froni just the planning stage, and now that the provincial goverûment is extending the GO Train eastward in two or three years, the Whole town will ~get a "shot in the arm", in fact a real booster shot. IOur' downtown study wll be made public within a ifew rnonths, and that will give somebackground in- Iformation for directions to be taken for the develop- Iment of 1"downtown" . You May have already noticed the start of con- struction of a new building at Dundas and G reen Streets. This building will be five storeys, a nice place to work and do business in. Our' Tourist Information Centre is preparing :for another busy year, and I hope that our endeavours will result in a bustling town centre tis summer. Encouragement of visitors to the Tourist Informa- tion Centre to shop in the downtown area would go a long way to helping oui' local merchants. May you have a good spring and a long summer.
