GREER This is the fifth and last article in a series dealing with the Canada Pension Plan. This arti- cle covers a fairly re- cent provision in the Canada Pension Plan Act, "The Division of Pension Credits". Upon the. termination of a marriage, through either divorce or legal annulment, pension credits earned by one or both spouses during their years of marriage, may be divided be- tween them. This provision is in- tended to ensure Cana- da Pension Plan pro- tection against the un- certainties of disability, death and retirement for a spouse working at home and any depend- ent children in the event of marriage dissolu- tion. To become eligible for this division of pension credits, the legal ter- mination of the marriage must have occurred af- ter January 1, 1978: Both spouses must have lived together for a mini- mum period of 36 con- secutive months during the marriage; the legal termination must be recognized by Canadian law; and the applica- tion must be submitted within 3 years of the marriage dissolution. As with all the bene- fits of the Canada Pen- sion Plan this pension credit sharing is not automatic upon the ter- mination of marriage. One of the parties in- volved must submit an application. At the time of the application, prop- er documentation must be supplied and includes both social insurance numbers, proof of age for both parties, proof of marriage and proof of divorce or legal annul- ment. Both parties will be notified of the results of the division of pension credits and will receive a statement reflecting earnings credited to them before and after the division. Both par- ties have the right to appeal any decisions made about the division of credits. For further informa- tion, please contact the Northern Affairs Of- fice, located on the lower' floor, Peninsula Building, 2 Gilbert Street, Marathon. Phone: 229-1153 or Zenith 33160. Convert-to-rent programme -- Ontario's Convert- to-Rent program, de- signed to stimulate the conversion of non- residential properties in- to rental housing, is being extended to all municipalities in the province.

The program has been available only in Barrie, Brantford, Cornwall, Guelph, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, North Bay, Oshawa, Ottawa-Carleton, Peter- borough, Sarnia, Sud- G & G HAIR are pleased to announce that on Dec. 17, 1983 LISE DEMERS joined our staff.

The ministry has re- ceived dozens of re- quests for interest- free loans from owners of non-residential prop- erties in other communi- ties throughout On- tario, said Bennett. The expansion of the program will allow own- ers of eligible proper- ties in all communities to assess the need for conversions to rental, especially in smaller communities with tight vacancy rates. "Our aim is to create 2,600 new rental apart- ments and all applica- tions will be considered on a first-come, _first- served basis. I believe many smaller munici- palities will welcome the opportunity to take part in the program," says Bennett. Launched initially in G PARTICIPALTIO! | Metro Toronto and Ot- tawa, the program was designed to be expand- ed to cover other areas with low rental vacan- cy rates. The Convert-to Rent program offers 15- year, interest-free loans of $7,000 per unit, to assist in the conversion of non-residential build- ings such as ware- houses, second-floor space above stores and vacant school property. Application packages are available by calling the ministry at 416- 585-6391 (collect if out- side Toronto) or by writ- ing to the Convert-to- Rent program, Minis- try of Municipal Affairs and Housing, 777 Bay Street, 2nd floor, Toron- to, Ontario, MSG 2ES.
