their kids will miss out on the advantages of full-day kindergarten.

The Liberals cramming 29 little ones into a kindergarten class was wrong, but scrapping full-day kindergarten will make things so much worse.

It’s unconscionable for the Ford Conservatives to consider making our youngest students pay for their cuts.

The Ontario NDP is calling on the Ford Conservatives to take full-day kindergarten off the chopping block, and to listen to families and education

workers by making things better with smaller class sizes, not worse with cuts.”

Ontario Investing In Indigenous Economic Development Ontario is working with Indigenous communities to create lasting economic prosperity for Indigenous people and communities.

Today the province announced $27.5 million in funding for programs that support economic development for Indigenous people.

The programs support training, job creation community infrastructure, and consultation capacity in communities, making a real difference in the lives of community members.

The 2018-19 funding will flow through three programs: • The Indigenous Economic Development Fund (IEDF): $10 million • The Indigenous Community Capital Grants Program

(ICCGP): $3 million • The New Relationship Fund (NRF): $14.5 million "The economic gaps faced by many Indigenous communities is unacceptable. That's why closing these gaps for good is so important - not only for the communities themselves, but for everyone in Ontario. When Indigenous people prosper, we all prosper," said Greg Rickford, Minister of Indigenous Affairs.

With better opportunities for employment and financial success, Ontario is helping make a meaningful difference in the lives of Indigenous people, so they can share fully in the prosperity of the province today and tomorrow.

Statement By Education Minister On Consultations With Education Labour Partners Today, the Honourable Lisa Thompson, Minister of Education, issued the following statement: "The Ministry of Education invited teachers' federations, education worker unions and trustees' associations to meet to begin discussing ways to improve teacher hiring practices, while also seeking feedback on class sizes in kindergarten to Grade 12.

We are modernizing the way we fund education in a responsible manner and we are eager to hear the innovative ideas of educators and sector partners.

This meeting is the launch of a consultation process with our partners in the education sector on the following topics: • class sizes - reviewing the regulation that addresses class sizes, as a follow-up to the recent consultation on the Grants for Student Needs (GSN); • teacher mobility - examining the mobility of occasional and permanent teachers or principals and vice principals; • interviewing the most qualified candidates - reviewing the elements school boards should take into consideration when inviting candidates to interview for teaching positions; and • basis for hiring - discussing which factors should be taken

into account when school boards make hiring decisions, to ensure more transparent hiring practices.

In 2018, the Ministry of Education conducted a successful consultation on the 2019-2020 GSN to seek feedback from education partners on ways to improve efficiency and accountability in education funding.

Today, we continue this dialogue through a series of deeper discussions with our education labour partners.

We look forward to hearing feedback from our partners.

We value their experience and perspective and we would like to offer them an opportunity to share this information to help us ensure greater financial responsibility in the education system while providing the best outcomes for students."

Michael Mantha MPP kindergarten class size cap is 29 students and for primary grades the cap is 23 students. The NDP wants to create to a hard cap for kindergarten classes of no more than 26 children. Classrooms are often already crowded and if class sizes grow, teachers’ efforts will be stretched even thinner. Do the Conservatives really need to consult with education stakeholders to determine if larger class sizes will be detrimental to our children’s’ education? I would have thought that this was just… common sense.

When Education Minister Lisa Thompson was asked if her ministry is committed to allowing class sizes to rise she responded, “What I’m committed to, and what our government is committed to, is listening to our grassroots.” Now, would those grass roots be the Conservatives grass roots who like to call the shots for Doug Ford, or does she mean all Ontarians? Either way it doesn’t matter because the people the government should be committed to is our children. Period! It's especially troubling that Ford is looking to children to pay for his cuts. The Ford government has already cut $25 million from school programs and another $100 million from planned school repairs. Now they want more.

This ‘consultation’ gambit is simply a precursor to an expected spring budget and shadowing of what to expect when teacher contracts are up for negotiation in August. Our children are not pawns or chess pieces to be played with. Our children deserve the proven advantages of smaller class sizes; and that means we need more teachers, not fewer. Our children – our future – deserve more from their government, not less.

Another issue that the Ford Conservatives seem to have missed the common sense target on is in the area of streamlining the process to turn good farm land into urban residential and commercial developments. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is ringing the alarm bell because of what’s in Bill 66, the Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act.

According to the government, Bill 66 aims to give business more flexibility to create jobs here in Ontario. But part of the bill would amend the province’s planning act to allow fast tracking of municipal plans to reclassify current farm land for new business and residential development.

The province would ensure that such initiatives would receive expedited approval and reduce red tape as long as they can prove that at least 50 jobs will be created.

Creating jobs is a great thing of course; however, this would also result thousands of acres of prime farmland being “paved over” as cities grow and sprawl. Jobs are good, yes, but the end result is the permanent loss of arable farm land that helps to feed not only Ontarians but people from around the world. Keep in mind also that the agrifood sector adds $40 billion annually to Ontario’s economy. Common sense dictates that one does not bite the “hand that feeds you.” Common sense makes one ask, so how are we better off in the long run?

Ontario is one of the largest provinces with plenty of land that is not suitable for agriculture or food production. Here in the North we have lots of open space for families to move to where new, good paying, permanent jobs can be created. We have room for schools here and we can use the skills and determination of immigrants who want to come here to raise families and prosper, just as our northern ancestors did long ago and just as we strive to do every day.

Common sense is something that we all like to believe we have in abundance. But, in the words of the French philosopher Voltaire, sometimes, “Common sense is not so common.”

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

News From The Park In looking at all snowballing headlines that are hitting the papers lately, I concluded that it only makes sense that they come at us now. After all, snowballs do form in winter. And since we have been experiencing some pretty cold temperatures lately, the headline snowballs continue to grow and grow. It reminds me of when we were kids we would sometimes try to make monstrous snowballs in the school yard or park, so bit by bit it took a big group to keep it moving. Those were the days. The ‘headlinesnowball’ brings to mind the old cartoons in which Bugs Bunny is being chased down a mountain by a giant snowball. That’s how Ontarians are feeling about now.

However, Ontarians have been through this sort of thing in the late 90’s and early 2000’s during Mike Harris’s “Common Sense Revolution.” The Common Sense Revolution was basically a deficit reduction that combined tax with devastating and sometimes almost punishing cuts to government spending. It could be said that Doug Ford’s plans are based on the same general principle. However, in looking at what Doug Ford is doing, his plans seems to be a bit light on the ‘common sense’ element.

Granted, the Tories have the immense challenge of reducing a Liberal created deficit that the Tories peg at $14.5 billion, despite the fact that the provincial accountability officer says in reality it is $12 billion. As well, let’s not forget that it took more than a few years to accumulate such debt, so we should not try to eliminate it in just a couple of years. The trick is to work away at reducing it without killing off all the achievement we’ve made in getting there.

Take for example the news that the Conservatives are considering axing full day Kindergarten as well as removing the caps on class sizes in Kindergarten and grades 1 – 3. As it currently stands, parents and educators know that students already often don’t get the one-on-one attention they need and deserve in the classroom. Today in Ontario, the

Tariffs Aren’t Working For Anybody And The Issue Needs To Be Resolved When we consider the impact that American aluminum and steel tariffs have on Canada the concerns of producers are first of mind for a good reason, but they are resonating well beyond those industries. What’s less publicized is the fact that the unfair tariffs are forcing small businesses throughout the country to close their doors, leaving workers without a job and driving up the cost of consumer goods at the same time. It is a losing situation and Canada hasn’t been able to do anything to resolve the problem.

The same can’t be said for Russia who have successfully had tariffs removed on aluminum production giant Rusal.

That company is now exempt which is somewhat mindboggling considering tariffs were applied as a response to Russia’s annexing of Ukraine’s Crimea, accusations of meddling in the U.S. elections, and support of Syria’s government in its civil war. Although there isn’t wide-spread political support for lifting those sanctions in the US, it illustrates how the whimsy of the President affects these decisions.

When the tariffs aimed at Canada were announced last the summer, it was estimated it would cost our economy as much as $3.2 billion a year, but they are costing Americans too. Using aluminum as an example we can see that US producers only supply about a fifth of what is required in that market. Canada supplied nearly half of the imports, but under a tariff of 10% those costs have risen and the domestic supply is tapped. The end result is higher prices for companies that rely on aluminum.

The fact that some companies cannot absorb these losses explains why we are starting to see American politicians call for the removal of tariffs.

The most recent example of American dissatisfaction came this week when a Republican Senator called on the Trump administration to lift tar-

iffs on steel and aluminum from Canada as a prelude to Congress considering legislation on the new Canada-U.S.Mexico trade deal.

The increased costs are hitting consumers too since any steel or aluminum product imported from the U.S. costs more with tariffs in place. That applies to big ticket items like refrigerators and even smaller goods such as canned drinks.

In addition Canada’s counterveiling tariffs were applied to items such as boats and some agricultural products too. For aluminum boats the costs are rising on two fronts since manufacturers are paying more for aluminum and tariffs are raising prices again at the border.

It’s clear to see that nobody is winning in this dispute that was entirely manufactured by the President who, some argue, doesn’t understand that trade imbalances can’t be worked out so that America wins in every single sector. The challenge for our government is steep but recent events related to the shutdown of the government in the US show that the President eventually backs down when pressure mounts.

It is the lack of pressure from Canada that is worrisome. It has been a long time since we have heard the government talk about the tariffs the U.S. has imposed on our aluminum and steel.

Meanwhile Canadian workers continue to pay the price. They see how Russia got results while Canada is somehow unable to remove tariffs that continue to hurt our businesses and workers. The government needs to act with urgency because jobs are on the line.

Wawa – 150 Years Chapter 1930-1939

Sir James Dunn Heritage Door by Heather Sinnott.

Sir James and Lady Dunn circa of Wawa Heritage Committee.

The “Dirty 30’s” in Canada and the U.S. were just that, dirty. However, in Wawa mining was the main source of income and business was booming. The Darwin, Minto, Jubilee and Parkhill mines were each shipping out thousands of dollars’ worth of gold per month while the rest of the country was in the midst of the Great Depression. All of this was happening just as Canada was granted freedom from legislation from the United Kingdom. As Canada was growing as a country, Wawa was on its own ascent.

In 1933, the Parkhill and Minto mines were shipping out nearly $1 million worth of gold. It was reported that some nuggets found at the Parkhill Mine were estimated to contain $5,000 in gold as well as ore samples containing 25% gold. The Parkhill Mine was consistently shipping gold bricks to the Canadian Mint valued at $19,000 and upwards throughout the decade, which was only half of Wawa’s iron mining successes in the “Dirty 30’s”.

Wawa’s iron mining industry played an integral role in the success of Sault Ste. Marie’s steel town roots. With the appointment of Sir James Dunn as the new head of Algoma Steel and Algoma Ore Properties, Ltd., Wawa and Sault Ste. Marie both were set to benefit from Dunn’s financial expertise.

With Dunn’s plans to reopen the Helen Mine, he applied to have Algoma Ore Properties’ participate in the Iron Ore Bounty Act which increased

1950. Photos courtesy of Town the profitability of the Helen Mine as well as operations at Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie. Following the implementation of this plan, the impact of Sir James Dunn continued to resonate throughout the rest of Wawa’s history as an integral figure in the development of Wawa and the surrounding area.

In 1932, far from Wawa, was Toronto author Morley Callaghan who was publishing his novel The Broken Journey.

Set in Michipicoten River Village, the book features stories regarding relationships and the sear for answers to moral dilemmas. This was one of the first of many instances where Wawa was the focus or inspiration for artists, authors and musicians who regularly frequented the area.

This is the seventh chapter in “Wawa – 150 Years, 1867-2017” published by the Town of Wawa, Wawa EDC and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund. Copies can be purchased at the Wawa EDC office at 96 Broadway Avenue.

May Contain Nuts You Can Still Drink Milk.

Article by Jenelle McAuley, RD, BScAHN By now, many of you have seen Canada’s new food guide.

For those of you who have notit has temporarily done away with serving sizes and suggested daily intake- this will come later this year with phase 2.

No longer is there a four colored rainbow sprawled across the page depicting four categories of food. Instead, there is a circle of food, separated three ways that mimic a plate, much like the one children use.

There are two equal size sections that take up one half of the plate, one section host bread and rice and pasta, the other pictures beans and chicken and tofu. The other half of the plate displays in vibrant color fruits and vegetables such as apples and spinach. The whole picture resembles what health organizations in other countries have been promoting for years; a diet higher in fruits & vegetables than protein and grains.

And as much as I, personally, think this is a great step forward, many are critiquing the new food guide.

Where is the milk?!

Dairy is still part of Canada’s Food Guide. It is difficult to see, but in the protein portion, there is a bowl of something white-possibly yogurt or cottage cheese. Although not pictured, Canada’s Food Guide includes milk, yogurt, and low sodium cheese in their protein category.

Also not pictured, yet still part of the food guide, yet not causing a hassle is: shrimp, scallops or lobster and as an East Coast Gal- I would think that would cause some fuss, but I digress.

Where are the cultural specific foods?

Some individuals are commenting that the new food guide is too mainstream and does not consider the vast diversity that is Canada. Arguably, not every fruit & vegetable consumed in Canada would fit on the plate. Just because eggplant isn’t featured does not mean you should not eat it. Again, this Newfoundlander doesn’t see any moose, but that won’t stop me!

Not all Canadians can eat this way.

Food insecurity is a major issue many Canadians face on a daily basis. It may be hard to justify purchasing fresh fruits & vegetables when a frozen pizza is the same price and will go further.

One Canadian Dietitian made the comparison between the new food guide and a new brand of pants. A clothing manufacturer cannot make a pair of pants that fits everyone-leggings do not count! Regardless, they still need to make the pants. They try to make a pair that will suit most Canadians but inevitably, some people will be left out. Maybe the pants are too long or too short. That doesn’t mean people will not buy the pants, they just may need to see a tailor first. When it comes

to the food guide-Dietitians are the tailor. Dietitians can take the food guide and make it suit individual needs; we can make it fit into any lifestyle or budget.

Visit Health Canada to see the online suite of resources and tips that complement the food guide.

Health Canada is encouraging Canadians to cook meals and enjoy them with others, enjoy food and listen to your body. Watch out for food labels and be aware of food marketing. Finally, Health Canada provides some yummy recipes to get Canadians started.

Savoury broccoli and cheese muffins Ingredients • 250 mL (1 cup) all purpose flour with added bran or whole wheat flour • 125 mL (1/2 cup) fine cornmeal • 75 mL (1/3 cup) wheat germ • 5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder • 5 mL (1 tsp) baking soda • 250 mL (1 cup) 0% fat plain Greek yogurt • 75 mL (1/3 cup) skim milk • 1 egg • 30 mL (2 tbsp) canola oil • 250 mL (1 cup) chopped broccoli florets • 175 mL (3/4 cup) shredded light old Cheddar cheese Directions 1. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, wheat germ, baking powder and baking soda; set aside.

2. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, milk, egg and oil. Pour over flour mixture and stir tocombine. Stir in broccoli and cheese. (Batter will be thick.)

3. Lightly spray or paper-line 10 muffin cups. Scoop batter into each and bake in preheated 200°C (400°F) oven for about 12 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Let cool slightly before removing from pan.

Tips • Little chefs can help mix the dry ingredients, the wet ingredients and then scoop the batter into the muffin cups.

• Out of fresh broccoli? Use frozen, thawed broccoli in a pinch.

• Try your favourite vegetable and cheese combination instead of broccoli and Cheddar. How • about cauliflower and Asiago?

• Make a double batch and keep some of these muffins for later. Cool muffins, and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 3 days or in freezer for up to 2 weeks. Warm in microwave before serving.

• Try using less of the ingredients that are high in added sodium, sugars or saturated fat.

• Adding salt or sugars directly to your recipe?

Remember, a little often goes a long way.

“The Resolutions”

A Short Story Series - Chapter 5 -

On the following Tuesday, Alice got home from work a little after 5 pm, and was making supper when a call came in that would change everything for her and Henry. She recognized the voice as his bookie. She had talked to him a couple of other times in the past, although she didn't know his name, and she did not want to know, she declared to herself after the first time. She will find out later this year, however.

She picked up the phone and said hello. As soon as the male voice on the other end asked for Henry, she knew he was looking for money from him.

“Look, I know you are Henry's bookie, and I want you to leave him alone. And don't ever call here again!”, she angrily stated. Then she disconnected her i-phone and flung it onto the kitchen counter, where it slid into the sink.

She cursed and reached in to retrieve it. Just as she picked it up, it rang again.

She jumped and angrily picked it up, and growled a hello.

What came back to her gave her chills. “Listen, you witch - just tell him to call me tonight before 8 pm, or else...” He left the threat hanging in the air. In her anger, she quickly hung up...

Henry got home about 5:30.

He got a very frosty reception from her, so he knew something was up. She finally confronted him as he sat in his lounge chair, reading the newspaper.

“You'll never guess who I got a call from a few minutes ago.” She left that statement floating in the air for a couple of seconds. He finally asked who. “Your bookie! He asked me to give you a message to call him tonight before 8 pm.”

Henry hesitated before answering, “What do you mean. I don't have a bookie. Whatever gave you that idea Are you sure it wasn't Mac? He may have wanted to know if he could get a ride to the curling rink for tonight's game,” he blustered. She replied: “No,

this was not this Mac guy He did ask for a time, but it had nothing to do with curling. I know your bookie's voice all too well, thank you very much, and he certainly didn't leave his phone number, so I assume you must know it. Go ahead.

Phone him now, and let's find out how much he wants, and how soon. My bet – oh jeez, bad choice of words - is that you likely owe him more than this week's pay cheque. Am I right?” she questioned. Before he could reply she added in a growling tone of voice: “By the way, I was able to finally track down that schedule you did not want to open last week – remember? Well, after some help with a wiz at computers – actually John Burgerwisch, the computer science teacher at the high school. Mary was able to get Mark to ask him to help me out. Even he had trouble cracking your secret account.

So you wanted the schedule of all the NFL games' spreads for January. I hope you haven't acted upon any of them, but I suspect you must have already placed some bets – maybe this weekend's games, eh?” She took a deep breath and huffed.

She sat down on the couch and waited to hear what he had to say.

He gave in, sensing the viciousness in her voice. He realized she was at the breaking point, and was not going to put up with this much more.

He wanted to sound indignant at her accusations, but he meekly pulled out his phone, and dialed the number he knew by heart - his work phone number. He let it ring several times, just long enough so that she got the idea that nobody was answering on the other end.

He finally hung up the phone, and said, “Well, no answer – guess he is out. I will try again after supper. Is it ready?” He deliberately got up and headed to the kitchen to the stove to check the pots.

Once again, she let him off the hook. “Yeah, it's just simmering. I'll get things dished up.

Wash up and sit down.”

After supper, he went up to the bedroom, and dug out his other cell phone (which

Alice did not know about either -secrets, eh!). He kept it on a shelf in the far corner of the closet. That phone he had hidden in a pocket of his back pack, which was filled with work gloves, and a few tools, in order to throw off Alice from finding it. He made the call that he dreaded. We can just imagine how that went.

And we can be sure that Alice was right – he owed even more than one pay cheque would cover. He pleaded his case, but to no avail. The bookie needed his money on this week's pay day, and would meet Henry at the local bar – at his usual 'business' booth in the darkest corner near the emergency exit, and at his usual time of 9:30 p.m.

When he got off the phone, his hands were sweating, and he was shaking. He thought to himself, “Boy, what a great way to start the new year off. Where am I ever going to get all that money by this Thursday? Do I dare ask Alice for a loan?” He paced the floor and started chewing his fingernails in a nervous gesture while he pondered his predicament. Finally he got up his nerve, and headed out to the living room to face Alice...

We will learn how he did it later...

Ontario Investing In Essential Mental Health Care Infrastructure TORONTO — Ontario's Government for the People is delivering on its commitment to make mental health a priority by investing in essential mental health care infrastructure to ensure patients and families in the Greater Toronto Area have access to reliable, quality care when and where they need it.

Today, Premier Doug Ford, accompanied by Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, as well as Monte McNaughton, Minister of Infrastructure, were at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to celebrate a major milestone in the construction of two new treatment, research and education facilities.

"When I say my government is committed to health care, that includes mental health," said Ford. "We are delivering on our promise to make mental health a priority as we celebrate this important milestone for CAMH's new facilities. We will make sure people struggling with mental illness or addiction get the help they need."

Ontario is investing up to $633 million towards the construction of CAMH's two new facili-

ties. The Crisis and Critical Care Building will include emergency mental health care, specialized clinics and 125 inpatient beds.

The McCain Complex Care and Recovery Centre will include 110 beds to support patients with more serious mental health challenges, specialized programs and services, and a space for research and education.

"When CAMH's new facilities are completed, patients and their families will benefit from better integrated mental health and addictions care in a modern and therapeutic space," said Elliott.

"This is also exciting news as important research and education in mental health will also take place in these new buildings. We look forward to the completion of these projects as we continue to build a comprehensive and connected mental health and addictions system in Ontario."

In addition, Ontario is providing CAMH with more than $3.7 million through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) to help existing facilities with upgrades, repairs and maintenance.

"Infrastructure is for the people. It's about more than bricks and mortar; it's also about men-

tal and physical health," said McNaughton. "The CAMH redevelopment is an example of our commitment to investing in the right infrastructure, at the right time and in the right place, in order to improve the lives of all Ontarians."

"CAMH is deeply appreciative of the government's focus on mental health," said Dr. Catherine Zahn, President and CEO of CAMH. "This funding will enable our hospital to continue to provide recovery-focused care to our patients in modern and respectful facilities."

Our government is committed to an Ontario where patients don't need to be in crisis to get the mental health and addictions treatment they need, when they need it. We will continue to make mental health a priority and work toward creating an Ontario where everyone is fully supported in their journey toward mental wellness

Proposed Changes Would Mean More Affordable Child Care And Early Years Programs The Ontario government is working for the people by proposing legislative amendments that, if passed, would make it easier for home-based child care providers and authorized recreational and skill-building programs to serve more children.

"We listened to parents and families, and we committed to making life easier by helping them find more affordable child care and early years options," said Lisa Thompson, Minster of Education.

"These proposed changes would provide more families with the child care support that they want and need."

The proposed amendments to the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 (CCEYA) and the Education Act are part of the government's recently introduced Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act. They would help increase access to child care and early years programs while maintaining high standards and aligning age-eligibility rules with kindergarten and camps. They would also remove some restrictions on home-based child care, making affordable child care more available.

The proposed changes include:

1. Increasing the number of young children that home-based child care providers can have in their care, from two under two-yearsold, to three under two-years-old 2 Lowering the age at which home-based child care providers must count their own children towards the maximum allowable number of children in care, from six-years-old to four-years-old 3. Reducing the age requirement from six-years-old to four-yearsold for authorized recreation programs that serve children after school 4. Removing the restriction that a parent must receive financial assistance before licensed inhome child care services can be provided for their child.

"These changes will give parents freedom to choose child care options that work best for them, in locations close to where they live and work," added Thompson.

"It will give families more options while keeping their children safe by maintaining the same provincial health and safety provisions and progressive approach to enforcement."

Premier And Ministers Meet With Hundreds Of Officials Over Three Days TORONTO - The Ontario government reinforced its commitment to create jobs across the province at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association Conference (ROMA).

Ministers and parliamentary assistants met with over 300 rural municipal delegations, a record number. They discussed topics ranging from growth and economic development to policing reforms to infrastructure investments.

Premier Doug Ford, Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs also delivered remarks to delegates.

"It was an honour to have the chance to attend the ROMA conference and talk about what our government has been delivering for rural Ontario," said Premier Ford. "Whether it's cutting red tape to make Ontario open for business and jobs, putting more money in people's pockets, or supporting municipalities with

infrastructure and planning - you can always count on having a partner in our government."

"Since coming to office only seven months ago, we've taken action on many rural issues that ROMA has championed for years," said Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. "From protecting double-hatter firefighters to scrapping the Green Energy Act to extending natural gas lines and investing in broadband, we are listening to rural concerns."

"We were happy to share our vision for rural Ontario, which includes successful businesses, lively main streets and strong rural communities where young people can prosper," said Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

Rural communities are vital to the province's success. The government will continue to put rural matters at the forefront of Ontario's Plan for the People and help ensure these communities can thrive.
