Pamela Sweet. travelled to Sri lanka in September for a conference jointly sponsored by the Commonwealth Association of Planners and the Government of Sri Lanka. As Past- President of the Canadian Institute of Planners. Pamela and Peter Martin represented (‘anada at the Asianâ€"region conference. The theme of the conference I was Silt'llt’f for 1/10 Horne/ms. which ties in with the United Nation's intention to designate I987 as the Year of Shelter. Much of the discussion at the conference dealt with the plight of the homeless and the planning concerns experienced by developing nations. Sri Lanka has undertaken a major program in I987 called the One Million Houses program. an ambitious plan to provide homes for some of their many homeless. Follo Ing the theme. the conference delegat s wm-takd‘fldn a tour of several facilities in Sri Lanka built to house squatters who have set up a village of shacks. Despite attempts to relocate the shacks, the squattersjust as determinedly rebuilt them. Perceiving that there must be a legitimate need for this type of accommodation. the government took over and provided simple structures with communal water and washroom facilities primitive by North American standards. perhaps. but still eminently preferable to the type of housing erected by the squatters. Housing the homeless may seem a far cry from the planning concerns of Cumberland Township, however. Pamela found that the conference made her appreciative of what we have here in Canada. Sri Lanka has a good agriâ€" cultural base and has achieved self- sufficiency in providing food for its residents, while delegates from some of the African nations admitted that providing nourishment for their people was the greatest problem facing their governments. 'lhis pointed out the need to assess how best to spend the planning dollar in such countries. Should their governments and the governments that provide them with aid. select the provision of services such as wells and sanitary systems as their first priority. or train planners in an attempt to head off future problems? Pamela found that such concerns heightened her awareness that we are part of a global society and that we cannot close our eyes to the needs of others. Canadian and Sri Lankan culture may seem so disparate and yet she was surprised at the similarities between the zoning laws of the two countries. both drawn from a shared British Colonial heritage. For Pamela, the conference was eminently worthwhile and thought provoking. lmitod " A Trusted Name In Funeral Service" WALTER W. SWILAND DAVID W.
