Ajax resident Katrena Halli- day is the other non-politician. Created in 1958 as a way te help prevent a recurrence of tho destruction inflicted on southern Ontario by Hurricane Hazol in 1954, CLOCA and ahl conserva- tion authorities have oeveral vital functions. 1 m "One of the most important' thinga wo do is watersbed management and reguiatingý floodpiain areas te, protect people and the environnient; te, prevent people (development) from' encroacin too close te the watershod,» said Harreil.

CLOCA's failed attempt to elo off surplus land in north Oshawa for a housing devlopment would be. an example of how the auth- ority bas «lost its focus," Harreli said. (The proposai iiteraiiy stunned David Crombie when the former Toronto mayor learned of- CLOCA's intentions during the Durham Region portion of bis 1990 royal commission hearings inte the future of the Greater Toronte Area7s waterfront.) Stressing that ho did not want te «prejudge the process an.,drili- pose mr personal view, ari said ai groups and governxnent agencies whîcb do business witb CIOCA, as weii jas tbe generai public, wili be consulted. "We're just in the initiai stages, the opportunity for public iniput bas not rrved yet." Bruneile concurs with Harrel tbat the review is "long overdue.» «I was a citizen member repre- sentinq Whitby in the eariy seventies," he recaiied. «(Former councilior) John Goodwin was the chairman and it worked.» Returning years later as a regionai councillor, Bruneile iooked forward te going back but was disappointedby what had trans ired in the interval. «Since tben things have slip- ped be said. utseenis were Fspendingmor time with the politics of the Rgion than worrying about floodpiains and wbat we shouid be <bing .» Brunelie confirmed tbat an internai review was conducted, but preferred not te discuss it ini tgreat detail. «Thero was a preiiminary con- suitant's report Ubrought forwar< Answers to Whitby Trivia from page i1i 1.
