Seniors receive provincial grant A group of retired people from Whitby will receive a New Horizons grant for $2,780, Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp announced. Villa Fellowship Group will develop a musical program of sing-songs, entertaili- ment nights and varlous other social events. New Horizons is a faderai .government program that enables retired people to create projects of their own choosing. It offers gran- ts to groups who under- take activities for the benefit of themselves and others in their community. The accent is on local needs as seen by older people and on their willingness to meet such needs . AT LAST A HARI £ A YOU HAVE TrO HEAR TO BELIEVE!I NO CORDSoNO TUBES*NO WIRES Report from Queen 's Park By THE HON. GEORGE ASHE, MPP <PC - Durhamn West) The City of Woodstock and Oxford County are to be part of a pilot project sponsored by the Ontario and federal governments to set up a new $630,000 computerized information and mapping systemn. This high technology mapping system is expected to quickly pay for itself because of increased efficien- cy and improved planning capabilities. Local planning departmnents invest a great deal of time and money in gathering ail data about their area that could be useful in planning. But for each situation, people need different kinds of information and often the planning department doesn't have the data in a format that can ha easily matched to in- dividual needs. With a comiputerized mnapping system, ail the in- formation is stored in one place. When a specific kind of information is needed, the computer will draw up an individual mnap specifically designed to meet the need. The computer can overlay various bits of infor- mation the user wants on a map, using shading or different colours to highlight different classifications. In addition, the computer can take statistical information, such as housing statistics, and portray them as a graphic on the map. Computerized mapping, therefore, is much more flexible than the current mapping system. -It can provide accurate information on projects as diverse as a new f ire hall or a waste dump in an easily ac- cessible manner. The new equipment will be arriving in Woodstock and Oxford in February with the system being fully operational by the faîl of 1986. Planners are looking forward to having the new computerized operation on line. Savings in cost, time and manpower will allow local government in Woodstock and Oxford County to keep planning costs in line. Other communities should keep an eye on this ex- periment with computerized mapping. More and more information is needed these days for effective community planning. Computer drawn maps seem to provida the leading edge for accurate planning. If the programn in Oxford County and Woodstock proves to be as successful as projected, 1 presumne that Queen's Park will encourage Canadian high technology industries to set up a planning service that would meet the unique needs of our com- munities, particularily growth communities such as we have in Durham.
