He was noted as say- ing that the participants are the key.group in rec- reation and that recrea- tion is a large social benefit to everyone. Recreation is no longer looked upon as being a 'soft-service.' It now in- . ~ cludes all active leisure © services including fit- ness and sports and is a vital requirement 'for everyone in all parts of Canada. Findings of the recent Economic Impact Study showed that 7.3 billion dollars are spent on recreation alone in On- tario by the people. Fig- ure skaters spend over $3 million just for skate sharpening. Amateur hockey puts over $400 million into the economy through various pro- grammes plus over $60 million is spent yearly on ice time alone. $64 million was spent by the people of Ontario for hockey game admis- sions. He went on to say that recreation stimulates over $200 million on volunteer work. Volun- teers are contributing over 20 million hours of their time for one form or another of recreation and, calculated by government wages (i.e.) 20 million man hours x $10.00 per hour equals [Re Rn ma: ma: Inducted into the Club from the Woodlands division were, (left to right), Vance Hiltz and Pasi Paivarinta.

He stated that when the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation spends $1.00 on recreation, this is generated by 9 times the economic activity. That means that for every dollar put in, the economy retrieves $9.00. 'On the social side, recreation promotes healthy people; the need for medical care is then reduced. This study has helped us a lot, as well as recreation. It will help to back your funds and requests for more ser- vices in Ontario. These funds create more bene- fits as the dollar cir- culates through the eco- nomy," stated the Hon- ourable Rueben Baetz. Included in this report was also a study on tour- ism. He stated that 35 per cent of the tourist trips made are for the purpose of recreation. He placed great em- Minister of Tourism and Recreation, phasis on gearing your community to the pro- motion of tourism in order that it will attract more people to your area and will in turn, boost the economy of the north. "This conference is historic ... it's the larg- est of its kind to be held in Northwestern On- tario and has included everyone from_ local municipal councils to various facilitators and volunteers from every walk of life.. Now that I ' have spent some hours with you, the partici- pants, I can expand on the theme 'Sharing To- gether We Grow'.
