Secretarial..and Treasurer's reports were read but no report had been received to date for the Card Party. Shirley Mikus had sub- mitted to March of Dimes representative, Linda Cairns, a copy of our pro- posed objectives.

The objective of all prevention programs is to reduce the number of human-caused fires by in- creasing the levels of awareness and fire preven- tion knowledge in forest users. To meet that objec- tive, the Ministry of Natural Resources requires each MNR region or district of the province to produce and implement prevention plans to deal with specific problems 'in their areas.

Ollie Chapman attend a Municipality Night with D.A.G. wherein members could question problem areas such as assistance with snow removal, ac- cessibility to certain places, * ect. Reeve Chapman would be available Thursday, August 28 and would be accompanied by Municipal Clerk Larry Simons and Town Engineer Doug Baker. Executive members were still trying to contact members of the Schreiber Council and were hopeful of making it a joint municipal meeting. Members from both towns would then be able to voice their mutual concerns. Joe Earle had given Shirley a book on grants and she listed several that had possibilities for our group. She had also been in contact with Revenue Canada and been very ably assisted. She discussed at length her findings from this advise-and the respon- sibilities if registered with Revenue Canada as a charitable organization. Rod had Hagi's constitu- tion, and they had added that we could contact. them for further information. Hagi is also part of "'push". Joe stated that there was many benefits from being affiliated with another larger group. Questioned. concerning the needs of the group, Rod replied it should be set up as handitransit, then turn-: ed over to the Municipali- ty. Joe felt the group could contribute towards the upkeep of a transit service and so fulfill their obliga- tions . Bernadette felt a higher priority for some of the members would be social rather than transpor- tation, biit all members had needs. A vote was passed to establish first as an Ad- vocate and Social Develop- ment Group, with By-Laws as stated. Following this agreement a committee was formed to re-word the objectives, To serve on the committe will be Shirley Mikus, Jack Patterson, Joe Earle and Bernadette Thompson. They will at- tempt to complete this by the September meeting. Gertrude Cotton agreed. to compile a preliminary list of any in need of snow removal this coming winter, after first checking with the Municipal Office on requirements of ap- plicants. She is therefore seeking names of elderly or disabled requiring winter assistance with snow removal. A further list will be compiled of anyone in need of assistance in an emergency situation. These would then be given to anembers of the Fire Department, Police Department and Am- bulance Service at a Fall meeting.

The main components of the prevention program in On- tario include planning, training, the school ,pro- gram , and a catalogue listing a variety of preven- tion material and aids. The fire managers use the media widely for prevention education. This includes newspapers, television and radio, as well as signs and posters. MNR works closely with municipal fire depart- ments. A new training package is being developed for the. benefit of firefighters in southern On- tario, who have the man- date to manage fires within their respective areas. It is a little-known fact that 20 GEY = this Week in Fire per cent of Ontario's allowable cut of timber comes from southern Ontario. - Engineering is widely used to eliminate hazardous or potentially hazardous fire situations by removing flammable materials, and creating fire breaks. Enforecement is often combined with education in the administration of the Forest Fire Prevention Act. With a growing popula- tion, Ontario's forests are increasingly used by a growing number of campers, hikers and fishermen. But while the numbers of Tecreational forest users is increasing, it is encouraging to note that the number of fire Starts attributed to some of these groups:is decreasing- -a sign that fire prevention education is working. Council © At the July 28 Council meeting, Council stated that public hearings will-be held regarding the reduc- - tion of Via rail passenger service through Terrace Bay.
