Durham group campaigns for kd Whltby Free Press, Wednesday, Novembe 27, 1996., Page 5 Don't cut services for special needs children and youth ini Durham. That's the message the Fairness for Durham Ide Carnpaign is giving the provincial governrnent in advance of the mini-budget from Queen's Park. In a letter to Janet Ecker (MPP Durham West), Minister of Commumity and Social Services, the Fairness Campaign states that any further cuts to children's services in Durham will exacerbate an already "It is anticipated that the Ministry of Community and Social Services will again be hit with a decrease to its budget and we are concerned that funding for children and adolescents with special needs will be further reduced," states Mort Marder, co-chair of the campaign.' He adds that after the first Provincial mini-budget, cuts for services for special needs children were made equally across Ontario despite ministry figures that clearly showed that services for children in Durham, when measured on a per child basis, were the second lowest in the Province with other municipalitie receiving from 20 ta 80 per cent more per cild. S"We trust that as you are very aware and sy>mpathetic ta this issue, you will soon be addressing the funding disparity issue and will certainly not aggravate this serlous situation by any further cuts ta children's services in Durham Region," the Fairness Campaign states ini the letter. Fairness for Durham Kids was established in 1995 by individuals concerned about special needs children in the region who are facing shortages of essential services and supports. YES!
