Councillor Kerwin:
Whereas
in September 2012 the provincial government cancelled the 70 year old
Ontario Ranger Program (ORP), formerly known as the Ontario Junior Ranger
Program;
AND
WHEREAS when the government cancelled the Ontario Ranger Program it claimed
the Stewardship Youth Ranger Program (SYP), an existing day program would
deliver the same experience and would offer more jobs;
AND
WHEREAS this day program does not offer the same quality of experience
youth gained under the previous ORP in respect to knowledge of resource
management and without the distractions of daily life;
AND
WHEREAS since 2012, 278 Ontario Ranger jobs have been eliminated;
AND
WHEREAS in previous years more than half of the Ontario Rangers were
students from large urban centres. By contrast this year, the current day
program is just not accessible to those students in those urban centres;
AND
WHEREAS when the government cancelled the ORP, many youths lost an
opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience because the ORP only
required enrolment in an Ontario high school and acceptance into the
program was based on a postal code lottery system;
AND
WHEREAS cancellation of the 70 year old ORP does a disservice to public
services in Ontario to those who have come to admire and respect the
natural beauty of our province;
AND
WHEREAS Conservation Authorities encourage students to learn about the
importance of conserving our shared natural environment and what they can
do to make a positive impact;
AND
WHEREAS the provincial government committed $295 million dollars in the
2013 provincial budget for youth employment;
THEREFORE
be it resolved that the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority supports
the Friends of the Ontario Ranger Program campaign to restore the Ontario
Ranger Program in the 2014 provincial budget;
AND
be it further resolved that the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
shall send a letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Minister of Natural
Resources, David Orazietti, urging their government to restore the Ontario
Ranger Program for future generations of young people;
AND
be it finally resolved that the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
forward this resolution for support to the other 35 Conservation
Authorities.
