This was the first of seven public meetings scheduled for this Summer along the 425 mile Corridor, sponsored by the Canada-Ontario - Rideau-Trent-Severn Ad- visory Committee. The Committee, which operates under a joint Federal-Pro- vincial mandate, is the co- ordinating body for future planning and development within the Corridor, which _ stretches from Ottawa to Kingston and from the Bay of Quinte to Port Severn on Georgian Bay. The public meetings are open forums through which municipalities, citizen groups and individuals can voice their viewpoints and their concerns. Chief among the concerns expressed at the Campbell- ford meeting was the present inadequate land use zoning controls along the system. Although controls are recog- nized to exist, the present methods of application were felt to forestall any effective action by local rate-payers. The Nappan Island deve- lopment proposal, which is currently before the Ontario Municipal Board, was repeatedly referred to as the . case in point. This proposal, which, if approved, will permit the construction of 250 cottage units on Nappan Island, six miles North of Campbell- 'ford. The effects of such a major development onthe environment; particularly the quality of the water, which is used for municipal services by several com- munities downstream from the development, was one of the main points of discuss- ion. Several people also stated their uneasiness over the implications permission for this development might have on the consideration of future, even larger develop- ments in an increasing _volume. -- Most individuals and those speaking on behalf of several cottage associations, indic- ated that they felt totally ineffectual when attempting to influence local decision- making bodies, including municipal councils. For the first time, the prospect of a Province-wide system of boat licencing was voiced from the floor. The 'suggestion was a reflection of the group's concern over flagrant abuses of common- sense water safety rules, particularly careless boat handling. Water skiers in- vading children's swimming areas, high speed racing in narrow channels, boat wakes that knock children off their own docks; such abuses were reported to be common VACATION-VALUED USED CARS| throughout the Trenton to Rice Lake sector. Local residents are becom- 'ing increasingly fearful for the safety of their children. The solution most fre- quently suggested was tight- er enforcement of present speed limits, the 'zoning of the waters for various activ- - ities with strict enforcement - of such- regulations and a more effective method of obtaining police or other enforcement support. A few individuals took the - committee to task for what they considered a. trend toward the elimination of small boats along the system. Too much attention, it was said, is being given to the large boat operators at the expense of those who preferred to use small out- boards, row boats and canoes. It was suggested that more facilities, such as picnic areas 'with tables, bar-b-cue pits and sanitary facilities are needed. In addition, some method of by-passing locks should be installed for canoeists. Por- tage trails with two-wheeled carts to make the task easier were suggested. All of the concerns voiced by those attending the meet- ing were recorded by the committee and Chair- man, Hal Hooke, 'promised that they would be'brought to the attention of every author- ity concerned, both Federal and Provincial and that the group. could -expect. serious - ~consideration of their prob- lems.

In commenting on the pre- vious year's performance of the CORTS Advisory Com- mittee, Mr. Hodke stated that the group had been instrumental in obtaining expedient action from the government on several issues which had surfaced through similar meetings held throughout the past Summer. His list of CORTS recom- mendations which had been implemented included the "review and restructure of the Canals Fee schedule; the extension of the operating season for the Port Severn lock to accommodate local fishermen; . the installation of a navigation light at Chief's Island on Lake Couchiching and the exten- sion of tie-up facilities at Port Severn. The CORTS group was also instrumental in having the plans for the twinning of the marine rail- way at Big Chute explained in detail at public meetings in the Port Severn area.
