Terrace Bay Council Report The regular meeting of the Terrace Bay Council was held in Chambers on Monday, March 28 at 7:00 p.m. Due to the absence of the Reeve, Bill Houston was appointed as acting Head of Council. Approval was given to accept the minutes of the previous council meeting, held May 14th. Correspondence The Inter-municipal Committee on Family Violence requested Council to pass a reso- lution documenting ag- reement with a 80-20 per cent sharing ratio (20 per cent for each town- ship) for the operat- ing costs of a Family Resource Centre, and also to provide the com- mittee with a donation of $250.00 (up-front money) to allow the committee to proceed with incorporation. The other communities in- volved in this share ra- tio will be Schreiber, Marathon and Manitou- wadge. A motion was carried to support this resolution and also to donate the sum of mon- ey requested to this worthwhile endeavour. The Thunder Bay District Health Unit re- ported on the progress of their building pro- ject and requested ap- proval from Council, for an additional special levy in 1985 of 90 cents per capita in order to cover cost increases since the original esti- mates were prepared. In Terrace Bay's case, this would amount _ to approximately $2,350. Council made a mo- tion approving this, in principle, for the 90 cents. The Mayor of Toronto extended an invitation to Reeve Speer to attend the sesquicetennial cele- brations to be held there. from August 27th to 29th. Council passed this resolution as the Reeve also wishes to meet with the Minister of Northern Affairs Leo Bernier to discuss the possibility of being asso- ciated as a township with the Ontario North Pavillion. This trip will be made at the munici- pality's expense. .New Business A request was made to Council from L. Sim- mons and T. Bryson for .the purchase of training materials.
