REPORT FROM THE GRANGE<br />

CASH CRUNCH:<br />

STAFF CUTS<br />

AT SETTLEMENT<br />

by DRUM Staff<br />

The worsening economy, funding<br />

freezes, and cutbacks have hit<br />

University Settlement Recreation<br />

Centre resulting in the lay-off of<br />

eight full and part time workers<br />

and the cancellation of two other<br />

staff positions. Both union<br />

workers have been affected. The<br />

Board at University Settlement<br />

struggled with the decision at the<br />

March meeting of the Directors<br />

and came to the conclusion that<br />

they could not · continue to add to<br />

a deficit that has accumulated<br />

over the last five years with the<br />

outlook for financial recovery in<br />

the Province so bleak.<br />

The Recreation Department<br />

has suffered the most w'ith the<br />

closure of the towel desk service<br />

resulting in the loss of two full<br />

time and three part time positions.<br />

Other positions cut were a full<br />

time maintenance worker, the<br />

Music School receptionist/ Administrative<br />

Assistant, a full time<br />

Community Development<br />

Worker, the Director of Finance<br />

and Administration and the A­<br />

quatics Supervisor.<br />

GETS GO<br />

by Doug Hum<br />

Following a review of capital<br />

projects by the provincial Ministry<br />

of Health, the Princess<br />

Margaret Hospital was given the<br />

approval to proceed at the end of<br />

March. The decision will now<br />

allow the hospital to proceed<br />

with its application for a building<br />

permit from the city of Toronto<br />

to construct a nineteen storey<br />

building which cantilevers over<br />

half of Murray Street. The new<br />

building will be .constructed on<br />

the area's only significant open<br />

space behind the former Ontario<br />

Hydro head office at 610-620 .<br />

University Avenue. The site is<br />

diagonally across the street from<br />

Orde Street School. In addition,<br />

six levels will be added to the<br />

existing nine-level parking garage<br />

at 40 Murray Street to meet<br />

the hospital's parking needs.<br />

"My neighbour - he's just come here from<br />

Salvador." said AI Medeiros of Harbord Street. "He<br />

said it was almost like being back home. The guys next<br />

door to the clinic, above the coffee place - they got<br />

thrown right out of bed. I even found this framed thing<br />

- a certificate - over here on my side ·or the street.<br />

There were bricks and broken glass and<br />

flowerpots all over the place." ·<br />

"It sounded like a whole truck of glass going<br />

over." said Z. Gilbert. Estimated $600,000 damages.<br />
