Growth Needed Basford Urges Managed Urban Expansion
Canadians face lifestyle restrictions unless all government levels master urban growth. Ron Basford, minister of state of urban affairs, told 300 delegates that unplanned growth harms social values and that federal provinces and municipalities must act together. He cited 35 million Canadians in 30 years, concentrated between Windsor and Quebec City, and urged land strategy initiatives and provincial plans. The mention of a November 24 bazaar and tea in Austin Community Hall appears amid notes on urban assistance programs.
