Summer Experience '83 - "Who is Where" Summer Experience '83 is sponsored by the Secretariat for Social Development and- ad- ministered by the On- tario Youth Secretariat. The programme offers 112 individual pro- jects in 26 participating ministries of the On- tario Government, often in co-operation with community organiza- tions. The projects have been designed to com- plement the academic and career interests of young people. At the same time, young peo- ple are helping to pro- vide valuable commun- ity services. Ontario Youth Sec- retariat Informa- tion Officer, Dave Tam- blyn spent an afternoon in Terrace Bay last week, visiting Summer | Experience '83_ partici- pants who are current- ly in a sponsored pro- gramme in our area. "There are eleven par- ticipants in Terrace Bay, employed in the sum- mer employment pro- gramme," says Tam- blyn. The jobs range from guided tours at Neys Provincial Park to computer programming at Lake Superior High School. According to Tamblyn, "the jobs are geared towards com- plementing the indivi- dual's career goals while providing worthwhile services to the com- munity." In conjunction with the Ministry of Educa- tion and the province's school boards, Project 0801 is providing a wide variety of educational projects that are a direct benefit to the commun- ity. Student assist- ants are working with children with learning disabilities and tutor- ing in special sub- jects. The develop- ment of educational multi-media resource kits and many other types of educational pro- lects are also being con- lucted. Participating in this particular programme is | local youth by the tame of Roger Wilson. toger is acclaimed as veing a "computer wi- ard" and has design- id his own programmes in a "*Pet" computer thich will supplement he English Grammar 'rogramme at Lake Sup- rior High School.

Another project with Summer Experience '83 is being done in co- operation with the Min- istry of Northern Af- fairs. Participants in this research oriented pro- ject are gaining practi- cal knowledge from senior professionals about the functions of the Ministry of North- ern Affairs in the areas of economic analysis and ~ community develop- ment. Two students who are working with eco- nomists in the Commun- ity Development Branch of the Ministry of North- ern Affairs are Renee DeGagne and Carman Millinila. Their area of study is the Hemlo gold field which lies 35 km east of the town of Marathon. Front page specu- lation on the size and work force needed on the site, has brought many of the unemploy- ed from across the coun- try to the gates of the companies in the Hemlo area. Though Renee and Carman are not imme- diately concerned with the job seekers camped at the gates, they are seeking accommodation for the expected work force of 250. By compil- ing a community profile of services available in the towns surrounding the gold field, Carman and Renee are able to determine which muni- cipality is best suited to take on the work force. Manitouwadge for ex- ample, is a prime candi- date. It has had an official plan in place for many years and has recently completed a new sewage treatment and water filtration plant capable of tripling its capacity if neces- sary. Carman says "the main aim of the project is to co-ordinate a stra- tegy between the min- ing companies and the municipalities so that long term planning may be successful." This would include such things as the total num- ber of man hours expect- ed at the site, suitable locations for tailings and support services net- work. Renee says, "we have to work fast to keep up with the rush."' Carman, 20, is in her second year in the Ur- ban Studies programme at the University of To- ronto and Renee De- Gagne, 20, is in her first year Economics at the University of Western Ontario. The Ministry of Na- tural Resources is also playing an important role in this Summer Ex- perience '83 program- me. Young people are working in the Minis- try's District of- fices doing a variety of manual, technical and clerical work in the field of resource man- agement. Two youths who are employed with the M.N.R. for the summer are Elizabeth Brown and Anne Marie Sobocen, both working as Park Guides at Neys Provin- cial Park. The two girls put on a tour that you wouldn't want to miss out on. They organize trail tours for visitors to the park. Prior to starting their actual work, Park Tech- nician Steve O'Donnell instructed Liz and Anne on geology, plants, wildlife and the history of the area. When the two students are not out on the trail, they can usually be found meet- ing with the campers or hosting one of the many slide or movie pre- sentations. Liz also shares her musical talent with the evening visitors to the park around the open camp- fire. Elizabeth who is 20 years .old, is in her second year of Social Science at the University of Western Ontario. Anne Marie Sobocen, who is 19 years of age, is in Outdoor Recreation at Lakehead University. Four other young people are also employ- ed at the M.N.R. Dist- rict Office, doing var- ious clerical, manual or technical duties, through the Summer Ex- perience '83 program- me.
