In addition to Barrie, people living in the towns of Shelburne, Grand Valley, Albion, Tottenham, Alliston and Lisle were also affected. MacKay noted that tlie fund was set up to assist tlie residents of the nine municipalities affected and is ad- ministered by a representative of eacli community. "Due to the severity of the damge and losses caused by the tliree tor- nadoes tlie province of Ontario lias declared the area as a provin- cially recognized disaster area and lias pledged to provide $3 for every $1 raised by the Central Ontario Disaster Relief Fund," lie said in lis report.

MacKay reported that during a survey of neighbouring munici- palities lie discovered that there is not generally accepted municipal policy on donations to disaster relief funds. "It is the normal practise of the Province of Ontario to increase the matched provincial funding as the magnitude of a disaster increases, lie said. The provincial gaver- nment bases its assistance on the degree of damage incurred, the likelihood of Insurance coverage, the capacity of the area affected to raise funds and the ability of the local area to influence major media outlets to assist in the raising of funds, MacKay reported. "Therefore, as the magnitude of a disaster increases, the ratio of matched provincial said. Council lias adopted a policy in keeping with that of the provincial government and will provide larger donations as tlie magnitude of a disaster increases. Under the new policy, council disaster relief donation will be $500 if the province matches funding on a 1-to-i basis. If the matched provin- cial funding is 2-to-i then Whitby will con- tribute $750. But if the matched funding is 3-to-1, as it is in this case, then Whitby will donate $1,000. Council will also donate $100 to non- provincially recognized disaster relief funds if requests are received.
