Mayor Hall was quot- ed as saying, "It's too bad the province did not see fit for fur- ther funding." I would like to point out that the province had never funded Scugog Employment Services. Their funding had been from the federal government, and they chose not to provide fur- ther funding. When I was told the new Lib- eral federal government had re- fused to extend any funding to Scugog Employment Services, I took it upon myself to attempt to have the provincial govern- ment provide funding for the agency to continue their servic- eS. In recent months, my staff and I worked very hard to ob- tain funding for what I believed to be a very worthwhile service in the community. I had several meetings with the Minister of Social Services, the Hon. Tony Silpo, who was very sympathet- ic, and attempted to do every- thing he could to help. The min- ister even had his staff meet with Ms. Haigh to examine the whole workings of Scugog Em- ployment Agency. The bottom line in my not be- ing able to obtain the required funding was twofold. First off, Scugog Employment Services were not registered as being a non-profit agency. Secondly, they did not have a Board of Di- rectors. Without these two re- quirements, the minister was unable to approve any funding. Had he agreed to do so lacking those elements, the provincial government and the minister would have faced a great deal of criticism. The door still remains open for Scugog Employment Servic- es to register as a non-profit or- ganization, to put in place a board, and then make applica- tion for funding. I am still pre- pared to do what I can, when and if those conditions are met. Without them, my hands are tied. Sincerely, Gordon L. Mills, C.D..M.P.P. Save Scugog calling meeting soon To the Editor: The expulsion of our MPP Gordon Mills from the Legisla- tive Assembly at Queen's Park is another highlight in our struggle against a large scale gambling facility on Scugog Is- land. This occurred on Thurs- day, June 2, 1994 and involved the reading into the record of Scugog Councils Resolution No. 94-300, which simply asks the Ministry of Consumer and Corporate Relations to with- hold the granting of a li until all environmental and so- cial concerns can be addressed. Since June 1993, according to the Honorable Marilyn Chur- ley, they have been working on a gaming code, and haven't suc- ceeded, as yet. In the same year, there has been no consultation with the balance of the commu- nity and absolutely no planning or studies concerning roads, hy- dro, potable water, sewage, traf- fic, all matters which will affect all people living on or visiting Scugog Island. Mr. Mills expulsion was trig- gered by his attack on the truth of the Scugog Township Council Resolution read by Ernie Eves, MPP, Parry Sound. I received a letter on Friday, June 1, 1994 from Honorable Bob Rae, Premier of Ontario, thanking me for bringing our problems to his attention. He has directed Honorable Chur- ley to respond to me right away. I await her response plus the be- ginning of a tragically late pro- cess of consultation with those of us who do not reside on the Mississaugas Reserve. We will be calling a public meeting shortly. Our petition to the Ontario Government is well underway. Our legal position is on constant update. Respectfully. Joel W. Aldred DFC President Save Scugog Island Committee Thanks for walk-a-thon help To the Editor: Where to begin is a good ques- tion when it comes to express- ing my heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful people who were instrumental in making the "First Annual Walk-a-Thon" such a tremendous success.
