Box 33, Waterloo, Ont., N2J 326 It seems ,just like yesterday when I became President of the Ontario Numismatic Association but here it is two years later and time for another election. I believe the past two years can be viewed with a great deal of satisfaction. Several major accomplishments have been made such as our reintroduction of a Speakers' Circuit, a new guideline for Convention Exhibition, a revised and updated Constitution and what has been the most significant accomplishment, the continuing Club and Member Insurance Policy. While costs have been escalating in all areas, the Association has maintained the Regular Membership at $10.00 and although we have been forced to increase Club Dues by $5.00 per year, we still feel that it represents the best value to be found anywhere. One of the ways in which we have been able to accomplish so much in the past number of years has been through the success of our annual lottery. The lottery provides funds for development of youth programmes, purchases for the library, and other educational programmes. With this bulletin most of you will find a book of 6 Mexican Fiesta Draw Tickets. We hope you will SELL or BUY this book of tickets to help support the Ontario Numismatic Association and also local Coin Clubs. We will be rebating to local Coin Clubs $2.00 for each book of tickets sold, and last year this amounted to over $800.00 which helped to promote the hobby of Numismatics considerably. If you can use additional books, drop me a line and I will get them out to you by return mail. My address is on the cover of the Draw Tickets. If for any reason you are unable to SELL or BUY the tickets, it would be appreciated if you would return them to me, as a record of all tickets is required for the Government's report. Before closing, I would like to suggest that you mark April 22 and April 23, 1989 on your calendar as the dates for the next O.N.A. Convention being held at the Quality Inn, Woodstock. This Convention will be hosted by the three Coin Clubs in Oxford County: Ingersoll, Tillsonburg and Woodstock. This should be a REALLY BIG SHOW. I hope to see you there. Your President. Kenneth Wilmot . EDITORIAL Just finished reading a very true sayire - MThere are many willing peopla in the wcrla today - those willing to do the work, and those rillirg to let those people do it, How true f Just looked over those nominated for office for the next two years and failed to find oae rew rame on that list. I mu18 have thought out of all cur membership, we would have gotten at least two people who would be willing to share some of their time, eaergy, and ideas , to help promote and expand our Bobby. When things go wrong we hear many people who will criticize the elected efficials, but when push comes down to shove, those people have faded into the woodwork. Some may think that these remarks are uncalled for, but I believe we must awaken some new people, so our hobby will continue to grow. This apathy 1 have just related to you is not just with our ergani- zatior, From maay reports, the local coin clubs are finding it difficult to fill various positio~saa their executive. Speaking for myself, I have been 15 years om the O.R.A. Executive and 15 years a6 President of the Ingersoll Cein Club. These positioma have been labars of love, but there cornea a time when someome new should be stepping forward for those offices. I would be delighted to have one of several executive positions removed from my shoulders. There used to be a sayimg- "Too many chiefs, not emugh indiaasn. Today we don't have those l~diaasto take over the chief8 position, I ask every reader to give this matter your utmost consideration, and when asked to stand for an effice in your club, come forward and say YES. I'm sure you will be glad you did1 Anather problem that faces many clubs today is a decline in member- ship and attendance. I have spokem and written en this subject before, so dil orly touch briefly on the aatter. Recently 1 red where a service club from Guelph, who have beem in busimess for yeare, have folded and another club feel they may be forced to close by the end of this year. Several of our coin clubs fell victim to this over the past few years. The Simcae Club, for lastance, in an area not toe distant from where I reside. What is the answer? Was there any effort put forward to try and eolttimne operations? - or was it the easy way out? I don't lave a11 the amawers and I nay nat have aay, but the first thing I would do would be to review the membership list for the past 5 or 10 years, aompile a list ef names ef those who were no longer Hem- bers, write them a letter am8 invite them back to atte~da nSpecial Member Reunion Hight". This could be held en your regular meeting night or on a week-end, Plan somethimg extra special, rehash some of those 4-. good times enjoyed when our meeting rooms mere fuller than they are today. Each ~lnbhas special evemts and happenings they can relate to, and don't make the meeting a dull affair (maybe that's me of our faults), get people to talk and mingle. If you can accomplish that, the reminiscing rill follow on its om, Invite all back to attend your reular meetings and doslt forget to offer them a membership. Who knows, this might be a aolution to the recovery of our club woes and our numismatic future. 2.

  • CCW 2020-238, Dated July 14, 2020, Regarding the County of Simcoe Transit LINX, Be Received
    To: Committee of the Whole Agenda Section: Corporate Services Division: Engineering, Planning and Environment Department: Transit Item Number: CCW - 2020-238 Meeting Date: July 14, 2020 Subject: County of Simcoe Transit – Transit Update Recommendation That Item CCW 2020-238, dated July 14, 2020, regarding the County of Simcoe Transit LINX, be received. Executive Summary This item provides an update on the Simcoe County Linx and Linx Plus Transit service before COVID-19, adaptations made during the pandemic, and the outlook moving forward. Simcoe County LINX transit service began operation in September 2018. The current conventional transit service operates along four corridors: • Route 1 – Barrie to Midland /Penetanguishene • Route 2 – Barrie to Wasaga Beach • Route 3 – Barrie – Oro-Medonte – Orillia • Route 4 – Wasaga Beach to Collingwood Route 5, Alliston to Bradford will begin on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 with free service for the first month. Fare service will commence on Route 5 in September 2020. Route 6 Penetanguishene/ Midland – Tay – Severn – Oro-Medonte – Orillia will have a later start date of early fall due to the delay of bus deliveries as a result of COVID-19. Transit service levels have been reduced as ridership has decreased due to COVID –19. Transit staff will continue to monitor COVID-19 ridership levels and plan for reintroduction of service hours as required. Based on average ridership numbers and average fares seen prior to March 23 it is estimated that approximately $133K in fare revenues have been foregone (waived) between March 23 and the end of June. Transit service reductions began in April and savings are estimated to total approximately $214K.
