Regionai Clerk There *wili always lie people on welf are, only answer is new j*obs: co mnssioner At any given time for the forseeable future, 1. 5 per cent of our population Will be on welfare, according to Durham Region's commissioner of social services, Doug Johns. Johns made the statement last week while noting that the cost of provicling public assistance will continue to escalate for both provincial and local taxpayers. "There is a certain percentage of our population that will always be on public assistance," the com- missioner says. He estimates that, on average, 1.5 per cent of the population will be on the welfare rolis for the forseeable future. This year, the region has budgeted $10 million for the provision of public assistance (the polite term for welfare), $2 million of which was levied directly against the property taxpayer in Durham. The remaining, $8 million is provided by the provincial gover- nment. Currently, 1.8 to 2.2 per cent of Durham's 360,000 or s0 people are on the welfare rolîs depending on the local economy. Johns doesn't ever expeet that figure to be less than 1.5 per cent. Part of the reason for this, the commissioner notes, is the Canada Assistance Program. Under federal law, no Canadian will ever be without some kind of in- come. "It is against the law for anyone in this coun- try to starve to death," he said, "That means we are obligated by law to provide the, necessities of life.

GEORGE ASilE, MPP (PC -Durham West) Minister of Government Services Ontario The 1984 Ontario Budget announced a major shift in the approach to youth unemployment in the Province. Plans were announced for new long-termn programs to prepare our young people for meaningful work. Programs like "Youth Tourism", announced by Ontario's treasurer on September 24, 1984, will help create a strong employment base in the Province's tourist industry, as well as provide immediate job opportunities. for young people. But "Youth Tourism", like the other youth employment initiatives, cannot succeed without commumity in- volvement and active support from the private sec- tor. The "Youth Tourism" program combines pre- employment training, on-the-job experience, and bursaries for young people interested in a career in tourism. In addition, the prograni enables tourist- operators to hire young workers who have been trained in the basic skills of the industry. ".Youth Tourism" is part of Ontario Youth Oppor- tunities - a three-year, $450 million commitment to youth job training and work experience. Funding for Ontario Youth Opportunities is provided by BILD. Although some Ontario Youth Opportumities programs provide young people with experience in a variety of work situations, the "Youth Tourism" program is geared to a specific industry. The chairman of Tourism Ontario, a federation of more than 7,000 tourist and travel enterprises, in- dicated that "we have been working throughout the summer with the Ontario Government to develop this prograni. Our federation encourages members' to participate wherever possible, and provide young people with useful job skills in the growing tourism industry." Ontario's Youth Commissioner feels that "Youth Tourism can provide a useful link to ongoing em- ployment when the program ends. Employers may recommend those young people with interest and promise for a bursary for further study. We believe this will help theni make careers in the industry. " Under the "Youth Tourism" program, the On- tario Government provides two weeks of formai training in the tourism industry, at colleges of ap- plied arts and technology. The Minister of Colleges and Universities, Dr. Bette Stephenson, praised the program as "another encouraging example of cooperation among government, education, and in- dustry to help our youth help themselves. " Young people and tourist industry employers wishing to participate in the Youth Tourism. Program should contact their local. college of ap- plied, arts and technology, or caîl the toll-free enquiry line (1-800-263-7777) for more information. m
