river valley to be sure therej are otherparts of ontario which are richer in terms of lakes and streams and in sheer breadth of unspoqod lands but the credit valley offers something they do not and that u proximity to the provum4 main population area for example about 38 per cent of ontarios population lives within a 45mile radius of forks of the credit in other words the valley can be of greater value to more people than almost any oth er recreation spot 4n ontario it is this which adds so much validity to the case being pressed by tike credit valley conservation authority for provincial govern ment action on a 5400 acre park at the forks of the credit such a development was recommended in a conservation report on the cre dit valley issued by the depart ment of planning and develop ment in 1856 normally the cost of forming such a park would be shared 5050 by the conservatom authority concerned and the pro vincial government but the credit authority has found that even a
