The implementation date for the hydro restructuring is Jan. I. l978. delayed from this past July 1 due to the provincial election in June. The necessary legislation was left on the order paper when the legis- lature was dissolved at the end of April. The legislature resumed in late June to clean up unfinished business. However, the hydro restructuring bin for Waterloo Region was about the third-last bill to be passed, Water- loo North MPP Herb Epp said from his Queen's Park office late Tuesday night. Mr. Epp, who was a member of the local study team that recom- mended the hydro amalgamation after a two-year study. said he "really feared" that the bill might not be passed before the break. Mr. Epp, who was mayor of the city of Waterloo at the time of the study, said the Waterloo Region bill was included in one to restructure the In conjunction with a K-W bid to host the l98l Canada summer games. Waterloo council voted Monday to send Community Services Director Ken Pnug July 13 to 15 to a preliminary show- ing of facilities for the 1977 games at St John's New utilities in Peel Region. The Peel bill was somewhat con- troversial in nature. in that its study team was allowed to stray from re- strictions that the Waterloo study team had to adhere to. However, the bill passed with no amendments. The 13 existing hydro utilities will combine into three. In one service area, the city of Waterloo will be included with Woolwich and Wellesley townships. - Another service area will combine the city of Kitchener with Wilmot township. and the third will comprise the city of Cambridge and North Dumfries township. . Mr. Epp said it was important to have the legislation passed now. as it will mean greater equalization of hydro rates in the Region sooner. Initially. rural rates will decrease and city rates will increase. Area PUCs will maintain current employees and rural utilities offices will likely remain open as branch offices. Details are still to be worked out as to which members of existing hy- dro commissions will sit on the re- vamped commissions. Council also voted to send Ald. Walter McLean to the games later this season so that councillors will have the benefit of two opinions on the estimates for in- creasing facilities locally to host the games foundland ttf Mom and!

Sixty-five Grade 12 (Year 4) students from across Ontario ‘will join regular university students for the six week summer session at Wilfrid Laurier University beginning July The students will have a head start on completing the required number" of courses for their degrees.

" Students have various rea- sons for grabbing at this opportunity. Some feel grade 13 is "just one more year before university": others think "if you‘re ready for university. there's no point in putting it off": some look at it as a "golden opportunity." OPENING of school if they wish, the great majority, in the past, have elected to bypass Grade 13 and continue in university. Classes are highly con- centrated as a full year's course is crammed into six weeks of morning only classes. Hundreds of students have completed their de; grees since the program was pioneered by the uni- versity in 1966. doima tuit-ttine
