Durham Rest Home (formerly Pugsley Manor) han been pur- chased by a, Scarborough-based Muslim organization and will become a womenls criis and help centre. Officiais of the non-profit Mus- Him Welfare Centre are currently renovating the two-storey build mng at 425 Dundas St. E. and are aining for an Anguat opening date. When work is complee, the refurbished lodging houa. will serve as a temporary shelter for women and children escapng from abusive or troubled domes- tic situations., Plans aiscal for ftamily coun- seing, legal advice ad jo skills train4-~ te ho offered in the centre. Althoueh funded b a Muslim organization, secretay-eneral Qaiser Naqvi said the centre will ho open te, any woman regardless of race or religious persuasion. Those in need of a p lace testay will ho accomodated, but Naqvi stressed that it will ho on temn- porary basis only. No one will ho pernutted to ive there per- manently. Naqvi said his group had been looking for a faciilin the Sar- borough-Durham Region area for some time before the former lodp»ng houa. was brought to their attention. Other Possible. venues were either too expensive or did not have the approppriate zoning, ho said. MThs was an excellent location and it suited our purposes, » said NÊLÎhous had been a source of concern for area residents and Whitby officiaIs for several years before it was closed and placed ini receivership in early 1993. It had bien licensied as a lodg- nouse and served as a home C many otpatients from the former Whitby PsychiatriceIHoa- uîal, now Wlutby Mental Health Cntre. Four and five people were often crammed into rooms bufit for one and more than 40 people were once found living in th house. However, measures adopted by Town council two years ago limit the number of residents te no more than 20. Mik Harris is bad for you. He's bad for jobs for you and your famnily. The Harris plan cuts $6 billion out of the Ontario economy and wifl slow economic growth by 2.5%. Right now it's over 4%. This wil cause 20,000 people a year to lose their jobs and 100,000 over five years. He's bad for medicare. Six billion dollars in cuts to Ontario's budget has to mean cuts to medicare. It's more than the total budget for 0H11'; more than the cost for aUl visits to allthe doctors and hosptals in Ontario for a whole year. And he's going to cut the erýployer helt payroll tax and replace it with ahealth premnium tax that you'll have to pay. He's bad for workers. When Mike Harris repeals Bih 40, he'll let scabs take your job again if you go on strike. But he won't stop there. He's going to roll back the whole labour relations act, so the boss can rum an anti-union terror campaign in every organizing drive and every certification, ratification and strike decision the union takes. He's bad for public safety. Mike Harrs talks a ood line about law and order. But $6 bilon in budget cuts, with $4 billion in tax cuts, will leave anti- crimnebudgets in shreds. And Arnerican- style social-welfare will create American- style crime and violence. And it's you and your fanily he's putting at risk He's bad for the environment. Mike Harris will be bad for the water you drink and the air you breathe. He supports incineration of garbage, a known source of the killer chemnical dioxin. He wants an end to zero discharge of industrial toxic waste into our lakes and rivers. That's your family's drinlding water he wants to foui. Welfare and workfare: lt's bad for you. When Harris sends welfare recipients to work for welfare wages, who's job will they be doing? Will it be yours? Doyou' want to compete for welfare wages? Remember the fast time someone promlsed you Iower taxes and a better world? Mis name was Brian Mulroney. Me was a Conservaitive, too. Me gave us the GST, free trade and thousands of unemployed people.
