With the active participation and support of all community minded groups and organizations, it will be our aim to make it a memorable and enjoyable one for young and old alike. This submission is made to the Town Council in the hope it may be deemed worthy of their support, and if so, they may see their way clear to assist us financially in the maintenance of the lighting, which adds so much to the appearance of the Town during the Christmas Season."

Pickering Planning Board: "The formal ization of the Central Ontario' Joint Planning Area, consisting of Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, East Whitby, Whitby Township and Darlington Township, occurred on May 12, 1965. This formalization officially created a planning area to the east of Pickering Township. Coupled with Metropolitan Toronto on the west, it has effectively isolated the remainder of Ont- ario County. frc'TI the Lake Ontario orientated services, the lake- shore urban belt of industry and commerce and the advantages associated therewith, except through Pickering Township. This formalization was effected, despite prior attempts by Pickering Township, the Town of Ajax and Pickering Village to organize a discussion group to assess the effects of this area, and occurred without regard to the remaining municipalities of Ontario County. This organization may be desirable or otherwise, but it is strongly felt that an awareness of the effects should be known as well as any future implications. In this regard, a discussion meeting is proposed to be held in the Port Perry Legion Hall on Wednesday, October 27, 1965 at 8:00 p.m. It is recommended that your municipality be represent- ed. A reply indicating the number proposed to attend would be appreciated." Moved by Con. Hooper, seconded by Con. Rundle.

Central Ontario Joint Planning Board: "At its third regular meeting held on Thursday, October 21st, in the third floor Board Room of the Oshawa City Hall the writer submitted a proposed Budget to cover the Board's operations for the balance of the calendar year of 1965. . On motion moved by Mr. Dennis Tyee, seconded by Mr. Harold Muir and carried unanimously, the Board adopted the 1965 Estimates dated October 20th, 1965, as prepared by the Director of Planning. An allowance is made in these estimates to cover pre-committed expenditures in the early months of 1966 (such as salaries and rent) until such time as the 1966 Budgets of the area municipal- ities are approved. The surplus outstanding on December 31, 1965, will of course be credited to each municipality in the usual way in the Board's estimates for 1966. As you know, the Planning Act requires that the Planning Board submit its estimates to the Council of each Municipality in the planning area, and as instructed by my Board, the 1965 Estimates for the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board are submitted here- with. You will note that the total estimates and the amount chargeable to each municipality, is less than the amount already appropriated and referred to in Council's resolution to the Minister of Municipal Affairs. Would you please advise the Board upon Council's approval of tqe estimates in order that, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, such funds might be requisitioned." MDved by Con.
