"This funding will enable the AGO to increase its exhibition space by 50 percent," Dr. Munro said at a reception at the art gallery. "The expansion will improve public accessibility and double the storage areas." Stages One and Two were finished in 1974 and 1977 respectively. Stage Three is expected to be completed in early 1991 at a total cost of $28 million in 1978 dollars. This project will complete the building program designed in the late 1960's to consolidate this major cultural resource. The tourist level is estimated to increase by approximately 100,000 visits creating an economic impact on Toronto of $27,000,000. A new sculpture atrium, joining The Grange with the existing building, will provide exhibition space for sculpture displays, concerts, openings and special events. ; The art gallery has held public forums with area residents and the architect in order to address neighborhood interests. The AGO is consulting with the public, and will be participating in a neighborhood Working -Committee with local residents, businesses and City of Toronto officials to ensure full public consultation throughout all phase¢ of the development. "Stage Three will help streamline AGO operations and make the building a friendlier place to visit," Dr Munro said. Fun Run Terra provide a social struc. fair to people in the Non.

In announcing the figures for summer job programs, Skills Develop- ment Minister Gregory Sorbara said the number of Start Up applications to date is 27 per cent above the total for 1986. This year's applcation deadline is June 13. Start Up is one of four Ministry programs projected to provide 62,000 summer jobs for young people aged [5 to 24.

Mr. Sobara said, "These jobs give our young people the Opportunity to get the on-the-job training and experience they need to easily make the transition from school to work. "*Start Up encourages young entrepreneurs who may be creating the new jobs for tomorrow's workforce. Small business, which is fueled by _ the entrepreneurial spirit, already employs most of Ontario's workforce, and it is a growing sector in our economy."' The $3,000 Start Up loans are available to students who are 15 years of age or over. They must draw up business plans to be approved by local Chambers of Commerce, and the loans, which are handled by branches of the The Royal Bank, must be paid in full in the fall. The largest of the Ministry programs is the Ontario Summer Employ- ment Program under which employers who provide new jobs for young people, receive $1.25 an hour to offset the wages of each youth hired. At the end of April , 13,500 employers had applied to the program, 6,000 more than last year. To date, 39,000 jobs have been approved for wage subsidies. Young people are woking in a variety of jobs such as bakers, grave diggers, silversmiths, sailing instructors and title searchers. Summer experience '87 provides career-related work experience in 28 Ontario government ministries and associated agencies. This year 2,152 . of the jobs, about 23 per cent of the total, were allocated to Northern On- tario. Some students began work as early as April.
