Three leaders and 17 boys took the tour. Three groups using Woodbridge Arena apâ€" peared before Vaughan council committee Monday to request either lOWer ice rental fees or a higher subsidy from the town. Nort Johnson of Wood- bridge, who is involved with the Pinewood Girls Hockey league, told council the groups feel registration fees are high enough, yet deficits are increasing and organizers are becoming increasingly involved in fund-raising activities. In a brief to council, it was pointed out the prime time rate of $30 per hour (for evenings and weekends) is higher than nearby arenas. Bolton charges $25 at all times; Nobleton, $15 week nights and $25 weekends; Clarkson, $23 before mid- night and $18 after; and Oakville $17 for house league. $22.50 for rep teams. Daytimes during the week Woodbridge arena costs $25 per hour. The Woodbridge and District Minor Hockey Association with 314 members. charges a $20 registration fee. The Woodbridge Figure Skating Club, with 200 members, charges $35 for recreational skaters. $55 for in- termediates and $60 for seniors. Despite a $15 grant from the town for each member, both predicted an annual deficit of ap- proximately $5,000. Before a committee was struck to investigate the request, Councillor Ab Hollingshead said fees should be raised $5 and the town should agree to cover only half the estimated deficit. Seek lower arena rates Council was told non- profit .organizations in- terested in providing senior citizen housing can get 90 percent of the funds for land and buildings from the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. An investigation of the need for senior citizen housing in Vaughan and consideration of direct in- volvement by the municipality was advocated by council meeting in- committee Monday.

Though councillors ex- pressed reservations about the town attempting to develop and manage such a project, it was decided an investigation should be undertaken immediately. “It should be done pronto." said Mayor Garnet Williams. “It has been hanging fire for a devil of a long time." According to the report, response to two surveys on the demand for housing provided under the Ontario Housing Corporation has been low. “It would almost appear that many people are reluctant to complete the questionnaire indicating any need for senior citizens’ accommodation which does reflect a distorted concept to Hollingshead said there is a long waiting list for the 18 units in Woodbridge provided by Ontario Housing. Rather than having the municipality take on the responsibility of providing housing, when Ontario Housing already has the staff and know~how, Councillor Jim Cameron suggested a public in- formation campaign should be launched to make senior citizens aware of what is available. the actual need stated. Before the municipality could acquire land for housing itself, it would have to submit to the ministry of housing a statement of general housing aims. 7 The merits of making such a policy statement are to be studied. “THE LIBERAL" is always willing to publish items regarding people and events contributed by its readers in Maple.
