i *1 Res3Midents of Durham Region have formed a group to help fight kid- ney disease. The Kidney Foun- dation-Durham ,Unit was formed in June. Elected chairman was Ajax resident Joan Ransberry. The unit is affiliated with the Kidney Foun- dation of Canada- Toronto & District Branch. 1The next meeting of the local unit wil be held on Thursday, Juné& 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Whitby Legion Hall, Byron Street, Whitby. The first objective of the Durham. Unit is to increase it's- memfber- ship. "We're seeking volun- teers from across the region," says Ran- sberry, The chairman points out that the main characteristic of a volunteer 'lis just someone who cares ". The June 28 meeting wiil be aneducational session. "lWe'll. offer a breakdown on how the Kidney Foundation works and how kidney patients and their familles benefit from the foundation. " The objectives of the Kidney Foundation are: to support' and en- courage research into the incidence, causes, prevention and cure of ail kidney disease and to promnote professional and public education aboud kidney diseases. In Ontario about 1,37 people are on kidney -dialysis. 940f these about 700 are suitable for transplantation," says Ransberry. However, every year, 300 new patients come onto dialysis. In 1983, 230 tiýansplan- ts were performed. "Depending on the blood type, the average waiting tinie is one to two years. About 80 per cent of transplanted kidneys function after one year." says the local chairman. Members of the local unit wil organize special fund raising R epo rt from Queen's Park By The Hon. George Ashe, MPP (PC - Durham West) LAJ. On hursday, June 7,A 184,' I was p leased to par- ticipate in the official unveiling of Ontario's Bicen- tennial Medal. Bicentennial events have been taking place throughout the Province to celebrate the way set- tlement began in Ontario, and how our communities have grown since that tim e. Margaret Birch, chairman of the Bicentennial Cabinet Committee, indicated, "Throughout 200 years, volunteerism has been very much a part of our lives, and of our tradition. In 1784 *the, Loyalists, their French forerunners, and natives, helped, one another because they were linked a common cause, and because of the needs of survival." During the Bicentennial year, we will have the opportunity of recognizing the contribution that these numerous volunteers 'make to the lifestyle that we enjoy in Ontario. Municipalities, Indian bands, service boards, and idviduals, have been asked to nominate in- diiuals who, in their opinion, have made outstan- ding contributions towards the, betterment of the lives of others. The deadline for nominations-is June 30, 1984, and special presentation ceremonies of 1,984 Bicentennial Medals wiil be made during Sep- tember and October of this year. Bicentennial Medals will be presented to individuals whose naines have been put forward, and who best illustrate the ideals of volunteerism and service to Te Ontario Bicentennial Medal was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa, and is manufac- fjtured by an innovative process which plates a layer o f pure gold on a nickel base. All the components of jthe Medal were produced in Ontario, and the manufacturing process was developed by Inco Lirnited. I participated in the Bicentennial Medal unveiling ceremony la Ottawa with Margaret Birch, chair- man of the Bicentennial Cabinet Committee, and representatives of the Royal Canadian Mint. The ceremony was videoteleconferenced to Queen's Park, where Claude Bennett, minister of municipal affairs and housing, and Dr. Walter Curlook, executive vice-president, of Inco Limited, also participated. The videoteleconferencing service was provided through my ministry, the Ministry of Governnient Services, and it facilitates meetings between groups at distant points. The Ontario government is con- sidered a leader in Canada in both the development and use of teleconferencing. The official unveiing o f the Bicentemuial Medal provided an ideal opr tity to recognize the rapid technological advances which have been -made since Alexander Graham Bell first began work on the telephone in Brantford in 1874.
