PAGE 18, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14,1l980, WHITBY FREE PRESS Whitbyl's Twinning As8ociafion stili want exch ange Quehec 's referendum resuits won't bother Whitby The Town of Whitby wll be sending a delegation' of about 25 people to Longueui on June 13, regardless of the outcome of the May 20 referendum in Quebec. The program o! ex- changing delegations bet- ween the two cities started 12 years ago. A group of in- terested people spend three days in the sister city each year. Regional Councillor Gerry Emxn, the Twlnning Association's chairman for Whitby, fears that en- thusiasm for the exchange may be waning on the other side of the border for this trip. Two years ago, Longueuil's city council backed away from in- volvement in the program and left the role of playing host upon the Longueuil Cultural Association. ,,, The delegation this year lias been restricted to 50 people due to a lack of hotel space in Longueuil. "What started off as a growing thing has backed off because of the situation in Quebec,"' Emm said. The delegation will be leaving Oshawa by train at 10 a.m. Friday, June 13, arriving in Montreal about 4 P.m. From Montreal they will be taken to Longueuil where they will attend a reception at city hall. Mfter a recital of twinning vows the delegation will have supper at a Longueuil restaurant. Sunday a church service will be held followed by a brunch.
