A Dominion Bureau of Statistics report, which did not include Oshawa, shows Calgary's population has increased 15.7 percent since 1961, the highest of any metropolitan area in Canada. Thé Bureau reported that Edmonton made the second highest percentage gain, 14.1 percent. Population of the central Ontario joint planning area has increased 15.4 percent since 1961. The area is made up of six municipalities: Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, and the townships of Darlington, East Whitby and Whitby. Oshawa's population in 1961 was 61,542 and in 1965, 74,194. The area population in 1961 was 102,230 and in 1965, 117,996. conducted a service at Camp Samac for the Rovers. This was followed by a series of discus- sions before the rally broke up.

Following a meeting last week in Whitby, attended by the four municipal council leaders and some 25 other municipal offi- cials, Warden Gould suggest- ed that each council discuss and decide within two months if it favors asking the department of municipal affairs to approve a study. MUST AGREE J. W. Spooner, Minister of Mu- nicipal Affairs, has said Ontario |County municipal councils must /be in general agreement about having a study before one will be approved. He has also said his department will look favor- ably upon a request for a study. One local government study has been completed and three are being conducted in the prov ince. The studies are common- ly known as regional govern- ment studies but provincial government officials are quick to point out that a study "does not necessarily lead to a region- al government".

Mayor Gifford favors a one- tier government responsible for all municipal functions. He says a two-tier setup is duplication. The mayor, without pinpoint- ing boundaries, said a regional government jncluding Oshawa would also have to include Dar- lington Township as the town- ship water flow is south-west through the city.

John Pearson, who works in the office of Dr. Lorne Cum- ming, special adviser to the min- ister of municipal affairs, told the gathering in Whitby it is not easy to determine the boundar- ies of a study area. He suggest- ed the study area would not ne- cessarily include all 18 Ontario County municipalities. If municipalities are in gener- al agreement about requesting a study, municipal representa- tives would meet with the min- ister and department officials to establish the study area. And, if the province approved a study in that area it would then ap- point a commissioner and de- termine the terms of reference and methods of procedure. The commissioner would com- pile comprehensive basic infor+ mation on the study area, Then municiaplities and other organ- izations would be invited to ex- press their views on possible changes, if any, in the structure of local government, NOT BOUND Then the commissioner would make his recommendation on local government changes, if any, to the provincial govern- ment. Municipalities would not be bound by the commissioner's recommendation. The province would consider further submis- sions from municipalities before deciding on any changes. Mr. Pearson said the entire study and any government de- cision would be a minimum "two to three year exercise", n,n , Warden, Mayor Favor overnment 2 GIFFORN + » don't duplicate' a meeting called by county council to consider a possible study of local governments. Fred Braybrook, supervisor of the municipal organization and administration branch, depart- ment of municipal affairs, said there is sufficient indication that the provincial government is ap- parently not prepared ~to "thrust" regional government on any particular area. But, he said the government is agreeing to commence stud- ies in co-operation with local governments. Mr. Braybrook said a_ study of local governments does not necessarily lead to a_ regional government, "'but it may be a desirable conclusion when you see the data."
