Ducks Unlimited and Wildlife Habitat Canada have signed separate agreements with the pro- vince that will provide a total of $1-million annually to secure On- tario's most valuable remaining wetland areas. More than 200 years of develop- ment have wiped out 80 percent of the original wetlands in Southern Ontario. Natural Resour~es Minister Vin- cent Kerrio announced recently tha' his ministry will provide $250,000 a year to secure wetland areas using such arrangements as purchase, easements, bequests, grants, tax rebates as well as other landowner agreeraents. Ducks Unlimited will match that amount, on activities specifically related to securing of wetland, and Wildlife Habitat Canada has agreed to match the combined MNR and DU funds up to a total of $500,000 an- nually for habitat securement for .water-fowl and other wetlands' species. Natural Resources Deputy Minister Mary Mogford signed the - agreements recently on behalf .of Mr. Kerrio at the 'Fall Outdoors Show sponsored by Ontario Out of Doors at Toronto's International Centre. Ms. Mogford said the agreements "represent an important co- operative effort to preserve and pro- tect remaining wetland areas for the benefit of this and future generations.' Ducks Unlimited signs agreement This investment follows years of planning by the Ontario government for the development of the com- prehensive provincial wetlands policy -- a complex process that has involved many groups, and municipalities. Ontario's Guidelines for Wetlands Management were released for public comment in 1984. Four On- tario ministries -- Natural Resources, Environment, Agricuslure and Food, anu Municipal Affairs -- have summariz- ed the comments, and are drafting a policy which will be released for public review next year. "What we are doing is ensuring that Ontario's provincial policy on wetlands will be well-understood and well-supported." Ms. Mogford said. Mr. Kerrio said that under these agreements, '"we will focus on securing Class 1 and 11 wetlands which have been identifieu as pro- vincially significant." "These areas also include staging areas for waterfowl, areas that have the potential to produce waterfowl, and those that are of scientific and natural interest," he said. Mr. Kerrio said the government is continuing to review ¢oncerns iden- tified in public comments, such as a landowner compensation program and municipal zoning procedures. The ministry is also continuing a wetlands assessment and classifica- tion program evaluating wetlands in Southern Ontario. Seniors proposal A proposal for a 28 unit senior citizens apartment building on Catholic Church property in Port Perry has been rejected by the Township council. The reason for tt "mn the proposal at this time 15> u.c lack of parking spaces in the area where the apartment would be constructed behind the Immaculate Conception Church on Highway 7A. There would have only been 12 ad- ditional parking spots created for the apartment and councillors felt this number is not sufficient. Earlier this month, however, Father Alfred Grima of the Church wrote a letter to council stating that further parking on the land could be made available at the front of the church itself. Scugog Regional councillor Lawrence Malcolm said the idea for a seniors apartment building on the church property could be given con- sideration if a solution could be found in the future to the parking question.
