An approval of this proposal will enable the Bayview Fairways Tennis Club to act as pioneers for all future developments. The 5-year-plan for facilities in the 1978 capital budget will in- clude a priority recom- mendation that the residents themselves can contribute towards certain costs.

CO-OPERATION “We have received fantastic coâ€"operation from the community with the restitution projects,” Mr. Diner said. “We have‘ 13 contacts where the children can work to pay‘ off their debt to society, so to speak.” There have been Then. the restitution project worker, the juvenile and his family would develop a contract to do some service for the community or com- pensate the victim. The juvenile must plead guilty in court to the of- fence he committed after which the judge would‘ refer the child to the restitution project and adjourn the case. “The purpose of the program is two-fold; it is to show that the juvenile is responsible for his wrong doings and that in working for the com- munity, he will develop a higher self-worth and a more positive outlook on life," he said. , By DIANE MARSHALL A restitution project as an alternative to probation for juvenile delinquents aged 12-16, has been in operation since June of this year in York Region. said one of the project’s organizers.
