In five weeks time, there will be no more Big Brothers ganizations in the same year. Although the awards were presented to the foundation, Mrs. McGarry says they belong to the community. "This is truly a tribute to the community," she says. The "prescription" campaign, initiated to raise money for the equipment fund, was designed to create community involve- ment. "We created a program the community could identify with and which included the commu- nity in all aspects," Mrs. McGar- ry says of the campaign which - focused on a painting of the Lake Scugog Open Air Ice Pal- ace by artist Alberto de Castro.

During a special Scugog Council meeting last week, council passed a bylaw allowing the construction of a 40-unit non-profit housing develop- ment at the corner of Balsam and Simcoe Streets. The developer, Branch 419 Legion Manor Park Inc., is pro- posing the housing develop- ment on the southwest corner of a parcel of land currently owned by the local Legion. The devel- opment will span 1.1 acres of the existing 4.083 acres. The plans had originally called for a seniors development but provincial requirements state the units must be desig- nated for seniors and singles. The development will feature one and two bedroom apart- ments, as well as wheelchair ac- cessible units. It is estimated the 40-unit development will house approximately 69 people. Despite the approval of coun- cil, the township must wait 21 days to allow appeals to be filed concerning the amendment, said Scugog Clerk Earl Cuddie. This proposed development has been the subject of some op- position in the past. An orga- nized group of residents has ex- pressed opposition to the development at two public meetings. They contend the pro- Ject will have a negative effect on their quality of life. A petition with more than 40 signatures was given to council at a meetingin November. The developers must present a detailed site plan of the project for council's approval, Mr. Cud- die said.
