NIPP (PC - I)urharni West) Minister of Governent Services ONTARIO'PLACE- Yours to discover, With the summer weil under-way, I would llke to higliliglit an attraction which lias proven to be of in- terest to a number of Durham ares residents over the years - Ontario Place. Ontario Place is designed to appeal to ail age groupe and incorporates a variety of interestingat- tractions. The Ontario Place concept was first an- nounced in-the summer of 1968 and the site was of- ficially opened in May, 1971. If you have not yet visited'Ontario Place, then you miglit consider a tour this summer to a site which lias become one ofthe area's most popular attrac- tions. THE FORUM: This popular amphitlieatre is the site of a variety of performances ranging-from the Toronto Symphony, and the National Ballet of Canada, tbrough Cliuck Mangione, The Atlanta Rhytlimsection, to sucli groupe as the Nylons and Sha Na Na. Three tliousand people can sit under the copper canopy roof, aniother 8,000 can watc h the perfor- mance from thie surrounding grassy slopes - and everyone is able to see the performance as the cen- tre stage section rotates. CINESPHERE: This glant, white spbere, surrounded by water, not only looks modern,. but house one of the world's most advanced film theatres. The theatre accommodates an audience of 800 and provides everyone with an unrestricted view of the screen. The films are free witli ad- mission to Ontario Place (except during the CNE) and are presented continuously fromn 10:30 a.m. un- tI 9:30 p.m. This summer, Cinesphere is featuring four films Northi of Superior, Catch the Sun, Silent, Sky and Nomands of the Deep.- an attraction not to be missed. CHILDEN'SVILLAGE: Many visitors to Children's Villagews that tbey could meet the age (12 and under) andhlt (145 icm/58" and under) reqwirements to participate in this two-acre, super- vised playground. *The area is flot only fun for children, -but many of -the concepts of child play, which are' now recognized world-wide were pioneered at Chldren's Village. The ares is divided into two areas; Landplay whicl i icludes a 40,000 square foot area for pre-sclioolers and Waterplay, featured aquatic games and fun witli a big bird- shaped dryer to deliglit the children. Children's Village is open from 10 a.m. daily. These are only a few of the attractions which are featured at Ontario Place this summer. So why not consider spending a day, or an evening to discover the fun of Ontario Place and the CNE - one of the many attractions in Ontario just waiting te be discovered. 105TH CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION 105TH CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION From August 17 to September 5, one price in- cludes admission to botli Ontario Place and the Report from Q ueen' s Park Speaking to You-> W:Mm By SCOTT FENNELL, M.P. '(PC - Ontario) -Prime Minister Trudeau lias again sliuffled bis Cabinet for the third time tlil.year;., With the gallup poils slio'wing the Liberalsat an ail time low, it is obvious that Mr. Trude au's main concern at present isthat election time is nearing. 1To creste more support for bis'party, lielias. decided to re-arrange the position 0ffls Ministers and dispose 0f tliose Ministers wbo were, in biis, opinion, unappealing to the public. In my opinion, Mr. Trudeau sh uffled from the bot- tom of a rotten deck of cards. The Liberals ha ve run out of freeli ideas and this most recent Cabinet shuf- fie was a last diteli attempt to appease the business community and the Canadian public. The Canadian public should be allowed to decide wbat they want and let Mr. Trudeau know their feelings on his so-called economic solutions. This can happen only by way of an election which would be an ideal solution to our economic problema. However, with the gallup polis in favour of the Con- servative Party, Mm. Trudeau wiil wait. Instead of trymng to give _this -Cabinet a fact-lift, Mr. Trudeau and bis foilowers should be dealing witli the present problems --0f" unemployment, par- ticularly structural unemployment; a fact which cannot be ignored. Instesd of doing a bit of window dressing, sometliing should lie dune to deal witli this in- creasing problem whicb wll not just disappear in the near future. At ther expense of smail businessmen throughout Canada, the ýgovemnment let interest rates rise as bigli as they did until they gradually declined, not from Liberal tactîcs, but as a resuit of, theU.S. recovery. I feel that the Canadian people are sick. and tired of this type of wait and see attitude, while they go througli desperate times. Mr. Trudeau knows this yet continues, to try and cover up the important issues and ignores tlie wishes of the public. USE LEFTO VERS Use' leftover fruit juice for, glazing liam and pork.
