Councillors Gord Rowe Cyril Flinders Finest are anticipating the de mand However elsewhere in the report the planners note that since is to some extent a dormitory suburb of Toronto as the cost of housing housing in rises in metro so the demand recommend for housing may also rise in Newmarket NEW GROWTH Much of the new residential growth is occurring outside of the Newmarket town bounda ries and will rely on the town for many services and facili ties This fact the consultants say should give cause for some concern as that de velopment will no doubt at houses to be built to ensure they are suitable for the ec onomic levels of those people wanting homes They believe there is defin itely a need for low rental Newmarket and that the Town again make application for a further study by the Depart ment of Economics and De velopment on the need for such housing A study in concluded there was no need for low rental housing It is estimated that some housing units mostly in the form of public housing will be needed to accommo date families displaced from overcrowded dwellings and some time become part of the those in poor condition that municipality They also underline the fact that most of the growth in East residen tial Consequently they say the assessment ratio is not being balanced with indus trial and commercial factors It is considered that Newmar ket should examine the impli cations of further unbalanced growth in the light of even tual annexation The planners urge that in the interests of balanced growth the Town take steps to ensure a say in the planning made for surrounding areas that must eventually be incor porated At present the Town has no formal control of ur ban development occurring around It the report points out In this connection it recom mends a study be done to de termine the desirable future boundaries for the urban area The Official Plan of the basis for present planning should also he the subject of a comprehensive review HOUSING As new

developed areas where the street surface has already deteriorated a lack of building maintenance is also becoming apparent STREET SYSTEM The planners further recom mend some amendments to a street system proposed in the Official Plan They suggest that a proposed diagonal road from Side Road con necting through to St be relocated to join up with Church and rather than crossing the Hol land River and Fairy Lake They also suggest that Mil lard St be designated as a collector replacing Queen St and Park Ave which were originally assigned the func tion Millard Ave should also be connected through to Srig- ley St which should replace Queen St as a major collec tor the planners advise SEWERS They note that there are very few storm sewers in the town and advise that trunk The planners point a finger too at fire protection in New market which they say Is rapidly becoming inefficient for a community of such a size A permanent fire fight ing force should be set up as soon as a new fire station has been constructed they advo cate Parks and recreational fa- storm sewers be provided and are thought to be ade- that the Town at the same time carry out considerable improvements to the natural water courses and prepare design standards to ensure that adequate capacity is pro vided in all sewers construct ed in new subdivisions water distribution sys tem is also seen as inadequate on the whole but it is noted that a program of expansion of water distribution and sup ply facilities is being imple mented The report notes that few areas in Newmarket are further than mile from a park But it draws a distinc tion between passive and active parks those provid- ing recreational facilities such as icerinks swimming pools etc and asserts there is a deficiency of the latter Next week The

Immigration has started a unique program called Op eration in coop eration with the provinces of Canada in a new attack on hard core unemployment in Canadas depressed areas The aim of this Action Research program is to motivate disad vantaged workers for more stable and rewarding jobs The target is a portion of the bottom cent of the La bour Force where many wor kers have too little education to enter I he departments reg ular manpower training pro grams According to Garnet Page Director of the program many people in areas of slow economic growth a 1 1 d schools that are by lack of staff and facilities People in these areas often lack the skills altitudes and orientation required for full participation in Canadas changing economy In addi tion many people in slow growth areas are suffering from unsatisfactory social and personal adaptation to school and work values and pat terns Operation NewStart will take a close look at these types of problems The vehicle planned for this program will be ten ex perimental NewStart one to each prov ince of Canada that will ex periment with the new ap proaches to training the dis advantaged the adult drop outs who suffer most from the declining demand for unskill ed labour in Canada This new program which has been developed by the Pilot Projects Branch of the Department of Manpower mil Immigration during past year will be coordinated at community level with ex isting programs and agencies Mr Page points out that the target group of workers gen erally have family incomes under grade to edu cation and probably come from poor schools and have a history of poverty hi their home life In addition he also points out that they in general more health problems than the average Canadian and probably are not used to the
