Home builders are facing a 75 to 85 per cent shortage of sod, forcing new homeowners to wait up to two years for grass, according to a representative of the Toronto Home Builders Association. Grace Dodds, municipal liaison co-ordinator for the association, appeared before Whitby's operations committee Monday night to inform councillors of problems the industry is facing. One of the major problems is an impending strike, which, if it goes ahead, could last three or four mon- ths, " sa id Dodds. She said the association is ac- tively meeting with the five unions involved in home building. A strike vote was to be taken yesterday. (Tuesday). She asked councillors to be "lenient" with home builders due to lack of sod. SEE PAGE 16 I I Is .your' child safe? Each year thousands of children become victims of accidents li and around the home.
