Mer Miller Wia speak at trade forum The Ontario Minister of industry and trade will be the keynote speaker at a business development forum being sponsored by the economic development department of the Region of Durham. Frank Miller is expec- ted to speak to the local business community about his government's efforts to promote and market Ontario produced goods and services. Miller's address will be a small portion of the day's events according to economie develop- ment commissioner Gerard Gervais. The seminar, he hopes, will provide some insight into the government programs available to support business ventures. One are to be dealt with specifically is exports and the programs of both the provincial and federal governments will be identified. The day will also in- clude representatives from the private sector who will relate their ex- periences in dealing with such government programs. Gervais said that this is the first time his department has attem- pted to do something along these lines and from the response to date, the seminar should be well attended. The registration fee for the forum - which will be held at the Polish Veterans' Hall on Stevenson Rd. N., Oshawa - is $20 and in- cludes all seminar materials, lunch and coffee.
