24 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Nov. 15, 1973 There won't be any provin- cial government investigation of Georgina Township’s fin- ancial affairs. Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister John White last week informed ratepayers of our new York Regional muni- cipality on the south shore of Lake Simcoe that their re- quest and petition for an investigation is denied. Georgina Township was formed under regional gov- ernment three years ago through the amalgamation of the. former county munici- palities of Sutton, Georgina and North Gwillim'bury. Won't Investigate Georgina Township David Few, chairman of the ratepayers‘ Committee for Democratic Government, said the group wasn’t dis- heartened by the govern- ment’s refusal. He said there are still many questions to be answered and the ratepayers now plan to retain legal advice to investigate the lownship's $43,500 purchase of a 155-acre property from the Redemptorists, a Roman Catholic order. A loLal of 110 graduates and 62 honor graduates re- ceived diplomas at the 50th annual commencement exer- Few said, “This whole mess is the result of regional gov- ernment."

Newmarke't, and Richmond Hill area-s, has asked the Ontario Govemâ€" ment to cancel its $4â€"mil- lion plans to turn the Auro- ra Ontario Hospital into a regional centre for the men- tally retarded. The group. in a brief presented to Provin- cial Secretary for Social De- velopment Robert Welch in August, asked that the hos- pital be phased out and reâ€" sidents discharged into com- munity services in- their home regions. 150 FROM ORILLIA The brief in preparation for several months, points out that usrd'err the govern- ment plan 150 mentally re- tarded persons would move to the proposed centre from the Orillia Hospiltal and no more than 50 would be from the York Region. “Between 300â€"400 retarded persons, therefore, would lthen need service in the Region of York, above and beyond the approximately 600 from York who would require di- rect service in 'tlhe next three years, according to our study." The group asks also that no more mentally re- tarded persons from outside York be placed in homes for special care within the area. PLANNING COMMITTEE 'Dhe brief also asks that a planning cormnittee be set up within the region with representatives from across the community and from 10- cal associations for the men- tally retarded and other agencies to plan a system of services for .the retarded in the community. It aslo asks for restructur- ing of financing of services for the retarded, to help de- velopment of these services by local people for local] people. In any proposed community services system, the mentally retarded of York Region should -be the target population, whether they live at present within or outside the community in a government facility. 187 AT AURORA Among the number of re- tarded persc'ms from outside the region are most of the 187 retarded men at the Au- rora Ontario Hospital, 17 of whom 'are in approved boarding ‘homes in York, the study revealed. 223-5168 The report also noted there are 37 homes for spe- cial care in York serving both psychiatric and mental insLi‘buLions. Of their 622 11.; sidemts. 126 are retarded. RESIDENCES York also has two com- munity residences â€" High Point at Markham, built with the aid of government grants by the York Central Association for the Mentally Retarded and Daybreak, which follows the Dr. John Vanier concept and is fun- ded by governmemt grants and public donations. There are also three schools for mentally retarded chrildren. serving 191, about 175 of whom live at home; and there are about another 40 children attending two spe- cial nurseries. half of whom live at home. York '3150 has two work- shops, used by 91 men and women, but more work training programs, job place~ ments and counselling are needed. ARC Industries’ large new building (a. ghel- tered workshop with a varied training program) has just been occupied on Ed‘- ward Street in Richmond Hill, replacing much smaller quarters.

The brief points out rthat institutions are more expenâ€" sive to build and to operate bhan residences in the com- munity. It charges the Go- vemment has not invesfiga- ted different kinds of resi- dences. It also criticizes the government plan for Aurora, which it says ignores all cur- rent .thlinking that the men- tally retarded should be gi- ven every opportunity to live as normally within rinheir own communities as pos- sible. The proposed centre at Aurora. would mean the continued segregation of these people and would re- sult in too many retarded persons to assimilate into the community, the brief points out. This would put an added strain on the region’s work- sthop and vocational services as well as a general strain on the community’s financial giving for the handicapped. “The Aurora Ontario Hos-pi- tal plan does not even re- cognize the existence of these problems. let alone suggest ways of handling them," according to the brief.
