as he sees it Mr Simpkln who writes our Innlsfil Notes has consented to do The First Column for August 29 We plan to have special writers do this column from time to timcWKW By MORRISON We had the privilege of attend ing the 1949 convention of the Parks and Recreation Association of Canada in Winnipeg August 811 It was particularly happy occasion for us because we were able to contact number of people whom we had associated with when resident of that city prior to 1921 also to renew acquaintance with convention delegates from Halifax to Edmonton Winnipeg is progressive city of over 300000 inhabitants includ ing suburban municipalities Only fewweeks ago it celebrated its 75th anniversary The city coun cil officials and citizens at large did everything possible to give the convention delegates real welcome and ii pleasant time In the field of parks and recreation Winnipeg is leading the way in many respects The city proper has over 600 acres of parks and more land is being acquired at very high prices Four years ago 25year program was started and half million dollars ear marked for the development of parks and recreation The Parks and Recreation As soc1ation of Canada is the out growth of the Ontario Parks As socmtion inaugurated about 12 years ago Parks men frbm other provmces attended some of the conventions and wanted to join and recreation programs were be ing organized At the 1945 con vention in Toronto it was decid ed to broaden out and make the association Dominionwide Parks have been an important part of ciVic life for centuries and until the advent of the machine age provided all the recreation deemed necessary Parks are re creation and the two cannot be separated To create and main tain beautiful areas and to encour age citiZens to appreciatii andenl joyv beauty has always been the main function of parks officials and this is recreation enough for some citizens With more leisure time the need fprwplanning and directing recreatlon becamewapi parent and today recreation is highly specialized science Young peoplc demand more than beauty spots There must be an outlet for their jenergics and aptitudes So sports crafts art drama music etc have become part of recrea tion and are vital in developing character and citizenship Leadership in directing recrea tibn programs is of first import ance This was stressed by every convention speaker Those who desire certain kind of recreation should beencouraged tosacrifice something in order to enjoy it Much of the equipment required should be provided by teenagers themselves They should learn that sacrificing is part of life There were 70 official delegates and25 associate delegates at the convention and they were about evenly divided parks representa tives and recreation leaders but there was perfect harmony as all realized that they are dependent on each other In most centres re creation is under the parks com mission or board with superin tendent of parks and superin tendent of recreation Irrmother centres they are separate bodies and in some casesifritioii arises Turn to page three please pfjtheghuige lleton trusses footings T11 9120 Bolumbrwasiexpert 39 VtLayinq llTon

recommendations as to how building was to be used and what precautions should be takeni They further state It must be recognized however that we are not in any way certifying that the scnool is structurally good or in sound condition but merely that We are of the opinion that the remainder of the structure is not now in hazardous condition and that hazards if they occur would be detected before they as sume dangerous proportionsL In other words the architects will not 1w responsible for the danger involved in continuing this school certainly thespublicschool board of Barrie is more
