Waterloo's both goals were scored by Brett Johnston. He was assisted by Brad Stevens and Scott Smith. Dean Fielding and David Jensen shared the net for Mr. Bong said that the Sports Council was not for development of any one sport, but for the develop- ment of sports in general. all over the region. The Waterloo Regional Sports Council was the first such council in the prov- rMhanor House Hairstylists Both Mr. Love and Miss Hunter are full-time em- ployees of the Sports Coun- cil. All members of the Coun- cil are volunteers with the exception of two. They are Tom Love, Executive Di- rector of the Council, and Diane Hunter, Administra- tive Assistant. The council is made up of 77 Board members. There are 53 individual sports representatives and rep- resentatives from 24 sport- related agencies. According to Mr. Bong, the purpose of the sports council is to facilitate and organize sports in the Re- gion. He says the reason the council is unknown is-- because most of the work.it does is with sports adminis- trators in the area, rather than with the general pub- lic. As a result, the Sports Council stays in the back- ground despite the impor- tant work it does. "rm very pleased with many of our accomplish- ments such as the coaching development programmes, the sports media night, sports medicine pro- grammes. the seminar on the human element of sports, the games for the physically disabled, the symposium on women in sports and the womens sum- mer games," said Gary Bong. president of the sports council since its formation.

The council is funded mostly by grants from various groups in the com- munity. They receive an annual grant from regional government, a grant from the ministry of culture and recreation, Province of Ontario, and project and program donations from business and industry. Some of the council's funds also come from programs oper- ated by the council. Though the sports council is not directly related to regional government the A coach can go to the sports council with a prob- lem and the council acts as a resource body to give him information that will help solve the problem. the auncil doesn't ac- tually fund the individual sports but it can help the sports administrators dis- cover ways to raise money. The council has resource material on almost every sport practised in the area. including horseshoes. Though the council at- tempts to help sport pr- ganizers in all areas some, of the biggest areas it can give assistance are in in- formation, and coaching aids. He said volunteer mem- bers of the council are al- ready ttyer-worked and it's hard to get other people to participate. pects of sport.

This month, the first meeting of the Wintario Sports Review Committee was held. Mr. Bong says the Wintario Committee is designed to aid sports in several ways. "We hope the Wintario Committee will be more representative of the needs in the community and that "We've been aware of the necessity of sport de- velopment all over the Re- gion. It's not limited just to Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge," he said. "I think the Council has helped to make. the provin- cial government and the municipal governments more"aware of sport needs in the Region. The munici- palities are very receptive to the need for facilities," Mr. Bougsaid. According to Mr. Boug, the council is always search- ing for new ways to help individual sports. Mr. Bong, who works for the school board when he's not working for the council, feels the necessity of sports development is the same in all parts of the Re- gion. two do interact to some ex- tent. As well as receiving an annual grant, the coun- cil operates in the same geographic area as regional government.

"There has to be equal op- portunity for sports parti- cipation all over the Region. We have to share money and resource material and coaching material. We should all use each other to benefit sport as a whole in the RegioC' Mr. Boug said. "Peppie are beginning to be more interested in actual- ly participating. I'm con- cerned that some sports are getting too organized. Too much organization takes the fun out of sport," Mr. Boug said. In the future Mr. Bong would like to see sports or- ganizations in the Region brought closer together so that everyone who wants to will have a chance to partici- pate. is changing rapidly.

"The Region is very re- ceptive. There is a high standard of resources in the area," he said. "I'm not really satisfied with the participation we're getting. We need more rep- resentation from the sports body," Mr. Boug said.
