DEEP IN DEBT HELPED BY CREDIT COUNSELLING me st me stn ssn em mt sn re se The Thunder Bay Family Counselling Agency will be receiving a Provincial Government grant of about $I5,300 towards its I976/77 budget, the Honourable James Taylor, Minister of Community and Social Services, announced. "The availability of credit tends to draw some people in over their heads," Mr. Taylor said. "Counselling strives to arrange order- ly payment of debt to prevent wage garnishee and subsequent job loss with its negative ef- fect on the family." Across Ontario almost $600,000, represent- ing up to sixty percent of their budgets, has been allocated to twenty-six credit counsel- ling agencies affiliated with the Ministry Credit/Debt Counselling Program. This co- operation between Government and the private sector helps to alleviate the problems of people burdened by debt. "Last year the Credit/Debt Counselling Program helped about I2,000 individuals and families to deal with financial obligations to creditors", the Minister said. "It is the objective of the program to find the most sat -isfactory solution to a person's indebted- ness and to assist the person and family to become responsible and able to manage their financial affairs", he added. As Mr. Taylor stressed, "Forty percent of the required budget comes from the community through a variety of contributors. Although my Ministry provides some of the required advice and supervision, the expertise needed on the agency board of directors for day-to- day operations comes from the community, in- cluding business, credit grantors, labour, in- dustry, social welfare, education, consumer groups and so forth."
