PORT PERRY, ONTARIO - TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1994 SECOND SECTION includes Real Estate & Classifieds Enumeration package sent out in preparation for November election By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star The Ontario government wants to get to know you a little better. So, beginning this week, the Ministry of Finance's Property Assessment Division will begin Municipal Enumeration '94. Packages are to be sent out across Durham Region to house- holds, farms and businesses. More than 180,000 are expected to be distributed in the region, with approximately 7,600 in the Township of Scugog. This survey is conducted eve- ry three years in preparation of the municipal election. This year's election is November 14. Merv Bowen, regional assess- ment commissioner for Durham Region, said the information contained in the enumeration is used to provide the municipal clerks voters' lists for the elec- tion. The information is also used to direct school taxes to the board of choice, prepare lists of potential jurors, assist munici- palities and school boards with their planning, compile popula- tion statistics and update as- sessment records. The four question survey seeks family information, occu- pant status, school support and eligibility to elect French- language School Trustees. An adult representing the household is required to check the information, correctitifnec- essary, complete the form, sign it and return it. The deadline is May 10. "It's a very important docu- ment," Mr. Bowen said. "It's very important to fill it out. It ensures people they are on the voters'list." A second mailing will be con- ducted in late May if the forms are not received. During the last enumeration in 1991 represen- tatives went door-to-door seek- ing the returns, but this method will not be used for this round of the process. Mr. Bowen said it was not necessary as they are expecting a good response to the enumera- tion, noting officials were pleased with the response of the survey conducted three years ago. If a person does not receive a package, it does not eradicate them from the fall vote, Mr. Bowen said. In this case, one should notify the local Clerks Office of the oversight to be in- cluded on the voters'list. "It's important to get on the list at this level," he said. "These are the mayors and the local trustees. The people you can reach out and touch and hope- fully get something done." Bill and Paula Lishman were at S. A. Cawker Public School last week to talk to the intermediate students about their ca- reers. The Lishmans are shown with a painting created by teacher and artist Donna Griffen-Smith, which depicts Mr. Lishman airborne with his geese. | SPECIAL THIS WEEK § * Tax Organizer * Manuals & Warranties * Home File * Recipe File REG.
