(Received for Information)
Shelley Ryall, President of Durham Deaf Club (DDC), advising that they
have been working to get legislation passed which will require that all
buildings be installed with strobe lights for Deaf and hard of hearing
people. Durham Deaf Club is a voluntary non-profit organization. The
club provides support and advocacy for Deaf rights and political issues
related to access and the rights of the Deaf. It also provides a variety of
events for children, adults and Senior Citizens, workshops and
presentations. Ms. Ryall would like to make a suggestion in laying
charges for homeowners who do not put smoke detectors in their homes.
The smoke detectors, which warn people of fire/smoke by sound, are not
effective for the Deaf/hard of hearing community, people with hearing
loss, senior citizens (old age), parents of deaflhard of hearing children or
people who lost some hearing at some point in life. The cost of buying the
smoke/fire detectors with strobe lights is from $129 each to $279 (US
funds) with strobe lights and bed vibrator. The Canadian Hearing Society
(CHS), Toronto sells fire alarms with strobe lights costing $159 each plus
tax and it has to be installed by an electrician. The electrician could take a
couple of hours so add possibly another $200 to the cost of the fire alarm.
The question is how will we help people in getting them installed or to
offset the cost. She is also questioning why there is only one TTY for all
of Durham Region.

Elizabeth Fulford, Executive Director, Durham Region Community Care
Association, writing to Durham Region MPPs, regarding the Safe Streets
Act. The potential impact of the Safe Streets Act on charitable fund raising
has significant importance to Community Care's programs. Each year, a
number of their local offices hold Tag Days as part of their annual fund
raising plan. The Tag Days provide an opportunity to inform the public
about their home support, mental health and respite services. They are
also successful fund raisers. This year they expect to receive $30,000
from these activities. Materials have been purchased and volunteers
recruited in many communities. They understand the need to limit
personal approaches for monies that directly benefit the individual asking
for money. However, they don't believe that the government intended to
limit community participation in supporting causes of Registered
Charitable organizations that service the community at large. They would
hope that clarification regarding this matter can be made very quickly.

Kern Majid, President, Bowmanville Tennis Club, regarding the possible
relocation of the tennis courts from the Clarington Older Adult Centre.
The Bowmanville Tennis Club provides a very much needed community
tennis facility that is one of the best in Clarington. The cost to the
Municipality of Clarington is incidental since the courts and all tennis
needs are funded by the Bowmanville Tennis Club members through their
fees. The cost to current and future generations of tennis players in
Clarington would be significant if the traditions of the Bowmanville
Tennis Club are lost because of the possible relocation ofthe tennis courts.

Doug Anderson, Durham Business News, informing Council of a bold
new internet initiative launched right here in Durham Region a couple of
weeks ago. They are bombarded daily by dot.com mania but by and large
internet success stories have bypassed all but the major centres in North
America. When he was approached a couple of months ago to help create
the Durham aboutcity portal, he saw that the idea was not only brilliant but
had the potential to really make the internet work for local communities.
Mr. Anderson's job is to pull together the local content. They intend to
assemble in one portal everything that anyone needs to know about
Durham and its constituent communities.

Ontario Power Generation, requesting that the Municipality of Clarington
Council install a four way flashing stop at the intersection of Holt and
Nash Roads. On February 24, 2000, Stan Mroz, a Major Panel Operator at
Darlington, was killed in a vehicle accident. Stan was travelling north on
Holt Road on his way home from work when the tragedy occurred. The
intersection of Holt and Nash Road is a hazard known to many people.
Since the accident, a number of people have come forward with concerns
about that particular intersection as well as other traffic hazards on Holt
Road. There are three specific, notable concerns:
1. Vehicles southbound on Holt Road are using the on ramp to
westbound Highway 401. This on ramp is designed for the use of
northbound vehicles only.
2. Heavy traffic on Highway 2 during peak hours makes it difficult to
turn onto or cross Highway 2.
3. There is ajog in Holt Road at Bloor Street.

Andrea Adamson, requesting sponsorship from the Municipality of

Challenge Inc., is a non-profit Canadian corporation that is going to
provide Canada with a great entry into the new Millennium by way of
participation in the Tall Ship 2000 Race deemed the "race of the century"
and OPSail the largest gathering of Tall Ships in history. To achieve this
great entry, "Tall Ships Millennium Challenge Inc." and selected crew
members are actively raising funds to support the 500 Canadian youth
who will make up the Official Canadian Tall Ship Crew for the Millenium
event. Ms. Adamson is one of the 500 crew members that have been
selected to sail around the world. She will be sailing from Luenburg,
Nova Scotia to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and return home 36 days later.
This event is going to be very beneficial to her, increasing her sailing
knowledge and other skills for future tasks. One of her future goals is to
join the Navy and continue with her sail training. In order for her to
participate, she will need to raise the funds to pay for her uniform, travel
expenses and activities while on shore leave. This is a youth initiative that
tries to promote opportunities for leadership, self-development and
sportsmanship, as well as interest in Tall Ship youth training throughout
Canada. Although Ms. Adamson's goal is to reach $5000, any amount of
sponsorship would be gladly appreciated.

to assist the School Council in funding for a new playground. The
existing structures are old and are becoming potentially hazardous to the
children who might use them. They are in the process of conducting
several fundraising projects; however, as Kirby Centennial Public School
is such a small school, raising the projected $20,000 needed to replace the
playground equipment is an arduous task to say the least. As the project
stands now, they have raised less than half of the estimated monies
required.
