Yet, as we rejoice, one cannot help but be sobered and humbled by the recognition of what is possible when men of good mind and purpose set about in logical, planned and researched fashion to do something for themselves and their communities. The Board of Di rectors of 1965 set themselves a target of five years. Their initiative and vision cannot be criticized, but the significant P.R. COOK fact is that nothing would have been possible if it were not designed for the greatest common good. To me, therefore, our greatest single asset could be our acceptance by the greatest number in the many-faceted community we serve. To speak with a voice compounded of reasoned common sense and a sense of justice for the majority, accepted seriously by the news media and listened to with respect by the many must be our most jealously guarded possession. This past year, the Fort William-Port Arthur and District Labour Council and the Chamber initiated a joint liaison committee. We believe this to be a first in the field of labour-management relations and we are encouraged and pleased by the discussions to date and the accomplishment in municipal relations with our joint meetings with the local councils. I think, too, we can be proud of our relationship with the senior Chamber bodies. Our purposes were admirably met in our attendances at the Annual Meetings of both the Ontario and Canadian Chambers and with the Northwestern Associated Chambers of Commerce at the annual presentation to the Ontario Cabinet. The Lakehead prospers as Northwestern Ontario prospers, without the one the other cannot exist. Our continued attention and participation in the activities of the various Chambers and the parent association of the northwest is most justified and recommended as an increased endeavour. We continued to move ahead with vigour in all our activities and I would be wrong if I did not recognize the efforts and honest good work of each of our committee chairmen and executive officers. I am well aware that in more than one instance, the task assigned was anything but pleasant and I admire the patience and fortitude exhibited in each case. Such action makes the Chamber. I am satisfied that our committee reorganization was good. I am sure it has taught us some lessons and no doubt the next Executive will �ANNUAL AND GENERAL MEETINGS President's Report Continued • A powerful message on the respon­ sibility of the business community to the country was delivered by William M. Anderson, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce at the third annual meeting of the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce at the Lakehead University early in the year. The meeting featured the in­ duction of the new president, P. R. Cook. • Thought-provoking topics such as highways, mining and tourism were animated discussions at the "What's Your Beef" Night at the Spring in­ terim meeting at the Royal Edward Hotel. President Cook gave a brief synopsis of the work of this com­ mittee to date. find ways to improve again and to adjust for the demands of the next year. The cost-revenue squeeze continues to be our greatest problem and the one most demanding of early solution. The time has come when we must recognize that we cannot continue to provide the level of service we do; especially in the field of tourism, without a substantial increase in income and, yet, any decrease in service would reduce it below an acceptable level. Not only must the municipal structure take a greater part, but ways must be found to encourage greater participation among retailers and those closely connected to the tourist industry, the groups who are the weakest supporters of the Chamber and, at the same time, enjoy the greatest part of the budget. I close in expressing my sincere thanks to a competent staff, the Lakehead news media, and all those who have added something to the betterment of the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce. DR. W. G. TAMBLYN Chairman, 1st Vice-President • 2 J. Murray Fleming, P. Eng., chairman of the board of C. D. Howe Co. Ltd. and past president of the Chamber of Commerce, was honored at a testimonial dinner held in the Holiday Inn at the Fall interim meeting. �CIVIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS • Received and studied in depth the Lakehead Local Government Review of Commissioner Eric Hardy in March. • Engaged Dr. Evelyn Eager, Lakehead University, to summarize recommendations of Hardy Report and committed this resume to 15,000 pamphlets for free distribution. • Met the initial deadline of the Department of Municipal Affairs for receipt of briefs commenting on the Hardy Report recommendations, which the committee found in close alliance with the Chamber of Commerce thinking. • Hosted two-day visit to the Lakehead of Members of the Provincial Legislature headed by the Hon. John P. Robarts. t S. L. WEARE Chairman • Applauded the announcement in November of Hon. Darcy McKeough, Minister of Municipal Affairs, that the Lakehead communities would become one by Jan. 1, 1970. CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES • • • • Legislation has been introduced by the Ontario Department of Mines as a result of this Chamber's request to provide that a licensee is not limited as to the number of mining claims that may be staked out and applied for in a license year. • The Mines Department also has legislation before the house on another Chamber petition for the universal tag system under which claim tags may be used anywhere in the province without regard to mining division boundaries. • Availability of aerial photographs of potential mining property under investigation. • Supported Lakehead Region ConL. A. SILLMAN servation Authority to obtain perChairman manent manager locally. .

Enjoyed films and guest speakers throughout year along with field trip to local mining operation. 3 �TOURISM e • • • • • 4 JAMES H. DAWSON Chairman Project of provincial tourist recep­ tion centre at Pigeon River progress­ ing with conferences successful be­ tween federal and provincial gov­ ernments on site selection. Con­ struction likely in 1969. Tourist Captive Day registered great success with Chamber hosting visit­ ing couples from the United States, Canada and Overseas. Resultant publicity in visitors' hometowns was spectacular. Lakehead Mayors and Aldermen rallied at Civic Tourist Centres for one day in July greeting travelling public with free coffee, pop and doughnuts. Sub-committee on Lakehead Expressway has made relevant recom­ mendations for signs and reception centres. Vital co-operation re­ ceived from local office of Department of Highways. Worked with Convention Bureau on important ski promotion both in Canada and the United States.

P. Hogarth, won the Conservationist of the Year Award of the Northwestern Ontario Sportsmen's Show. • Re-instituted the Guest Ambassador program of organizing high school girls, in business for themselves, guiding visitors to tours of interest in industry, etc. • With the co-operation of City Council, improved the sign directions leading to the Port Arthur Pagoda which reflected an increase in registration. �TRANSPORTATION • Acclaimed the upgrading of Air Canada service with the introduction of the daily DC-9 jet flight, between Toronto and the Lakehead and return reducing the flight to 1 ½ hours. • In response to representations to Air Canada, Lakehead westbound flights were rescheduled to ensure more convenient connections with westbound flights from Winnipeg. • Approaches to the federal Department of Transport for improvement of parking facilities were successful with the expansion of space at Lakehead Airport. • Supported Transair Limited application for Winnipeg-Lakehead-ToronChairman to jet air service provided community did not lose Air Canada mainline carrier service.

CHEADLE • Reports of the scheduling of the completion of Lakehead Expressway beyond the original 1970 completion date, brought a strong protest to the Highways Department from the Chamber resulting in adherence to the original calendar. • Some steps were taken by Canadian National Railways to improve the level crossing in the Lakehead Cities at key traffic areas after Chamber of Commerce representation. The Chamber of Commerce, with other public spirited bodies, made strenuous efforts to induce the federal minister of Public Works to dredge the Mission River in the vicinity of the Valley Camp Coal Company site to facilitate trans-shipment of iron ore pellets. Subsequently the government reviewed its earlier decision and has now undertaken to dredge and deepen the river without user participation. Lack of solution to the vexing problem posed by the James Street Bridge across the Kam River continues to be a community anxiety. No appreciable progress has been made with the C.N.R. which maintains present facilities are adequate for its purposes. The Chamber will continue to act with municipal authorities to study this navigational hazard. John Andrews is delegate and your chairman an alternate delegate on an ad hoc committee of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce sup• porting the existing policy of the Ontario Chamber of a toll -free Welland Ship Canal and no further increases in the tolls on the St. Lawrence Canals. The committee is watching with concern the advent of containerization and unit train introduction and the attendant pressure this type of competition might impose upon development of the full potential of the St. Lawrence Seaway. These developments emphasize holding Seaway costs to realistic levels to ensure this mode of transportation will be competitive with others. 5 �PUBLIC RELATIONS MEMBERSHIP • • • HUGH J. CRAIG Chairman 6 The Chamber of Commerce adopted a new approach to membership in 1968 with the committee members on the alert for prospective members entering the community as well as protecting the interests of existing members. During the year 29 new members were welcomed into the Chamber, many of them newcomers to the community. The Lakehead Cl1amber of Commerce registered 722 member firms for a gross individual membership of 1,081. K. B. RIDLER Chairman • Achieved marked success with the press media of newspapers, radio and television in and understanding coverage of the events and proceedings of the Chamber. • Hosted the members of the Fourth Estate at a reception in March at the Royal Edward Hotel. • The committee gave serious consideration to the idea of engaging a public relations man on a part-time basis to promote more adequately Chamber functions and activities. �EDUCATION AND YOUTH • The graduating classes in Grade XII and XIII of Lakehead High Schools received from the Chamber of Commerce a copy of the Chamber pamphlet, Economic Facts and You. • After receiving the booklets, committee members spoke to all high school classes on the importance of the free enterprise system. • The Northwestern Ontario Regional Science Fair, an annual feature of the Lakehead, was again supported by the Chamber of Commerce with a cash prize won by one of the contestants, Keith Laderoute. • To impress upon the commercial and industrial concerns of the comARTHUR J. BLACK munity, the Chamber urged the Chairman provision of summer jobs for high school, college and university students. • • • Two courses in Human Relations were sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce at Lakehead University in the Fall in conjunction with the Ontario Department of Education. Course lecturers were Fred Soughton and Donald MacCormac. Earlier in the year two other courses, Business Law with D. S. Cheadle heading it, and Management Accounting with Stan Wylynko and Gary E. Garner as leaders, were well attended. • The problems of the youth in the community were explained to the Committee by representatives of Youth Incorporated, dedicated to reducing the incidence of juvenile delinquency. • The Story of Creative Capital, a 16mm sound film with animated colour relating where capital comes from and what it does, was shown to several economic classes in high schools. • The Committee continued to work in close liaison with education authorities on the university, college and high school levels. Winner of the Lakehead Chamber Scholarship award at the Lakehead University was Rhoderick T. E. Howitt. Guidance counsellors in high schools at the Lakehead and district were given the opportunity to gain their specialists certificate when the Chamber arranged for them to spend two weeks in businesses and industries in July. The project was highly successful. 7 �RESOLUTIONS • • Basically the actions of the Chamber of Commerce by resolution are directed primarily to governments on the local, provincial and federal level. Your Chamber, through affiliation with the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce, the Ontario Chamber of Comm-erce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, makes these approaches. Four motions received the unanimous approval of the Northwest Chambers at Dryden: 1) DR. C. M. JOHNSTON Chairman 8 Universal metal tags be implemented so claim stakers may buy tags at nearest district mining recording office for use anywhere in Ontario. 2) Claims stakers be authorized to stake any number of claims provided no more than 90 claims are registered on a license at any one time. 3) Properly compensate businessmen for enormous work incurred for collecting taxes and form filling. 4) Repeal Succession duties in Ontario. • The Ontario Chamber of Commerce at Sarnia annual meeting sanctioned two Lakehead resolutions: 1) Will ask Ontario to initiate far greater mining and geological research to stimulate mining activity leading to industrial promotion. 2) Request province to make it mandatory for all communities to adopt daylight saving time with commencement and termination dates occurring at same time. • Also at Sarnia, John Andrews, was delegated as Lakehead representative on ad hoc committee to maintain present O.C.C. policy of Welland Ship Canal toll free and no increases of tolls on St. Lawrence Canals. • Lakehead withdrew its recommended policy statement on Logging Tax amendment because of Ontario Chamber's overall proposals regarding the Report of the Ontario Committee on Taxation. • Eight delegates from the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce attended the Calgary annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Despite a valiant attempt on the part of H. A. L. Tibbetts of Fort Frances, the meeting would not accept our recommendations on the control of foreign-based operators of chartered aircraft. • Although unsuccessful in electing a director to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Lakehead is represented on the Ontario Chamber of Commerce by three members as directors: E. E. Clow, C. E. Mapledoram and Brien O'Brien. • �MERCHANTS CO-ORDINATING • Night shopping and Christmas store hours were principal topics of time occupation of committee members representative of retail merchants of both cities. • After being informed by the Port Arthur City Council Legislation Committee early in February that it was considering amending the store hours bylaw to include one night shopping, merchants of both cities, in a mailed ballot, voted 76 per cent in maintaining existing store hours. A ballot return of 77 per cent was recorded. • The City Legislation Committee communicated again with the reROBERT HAMILTON tailers May 13 announcing that the Chairman stores bylaw would be amended authorizing Thursday evening openings. The Merchants Co-ordinating Committee countered with the suggestion that this revision be held off until adequate parking was provided in all market areas. LIAISON • • • • • The Chamber of Commerce recommended that if store hours were to be altered that they should be done so in co-ordination with the City of Fort William . Both cities subsequently amended the bylaws to include night shopping Thursdays until 9 p.m. DR. H. K. N·ANCEKIVELL Chairman A unique departure in Chamber action was the invitation to the Fort William-Port Arthur and District Labour Council to form a common bond of discussion on projects for the benefit of the community at large. Labour acceptance to the idea saw the committee co-operating on overtures to both City Councils to deliberate on how labour and management could assist the municipal bodies. A successful luncheon involving mayors and aldermen was held at the Lakehead Labour Centre on the mutual assistance offer. · A sincere effort will be made in 1969 to continue the theme of this committee and possibly expand its terms of reference. • • Furthering its efforts to understand better labour relations problems, the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce was successful in having as its guest speaker at the fourth annual meeting Mr. William Dodge, secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress. 9 �THE LAKEHEAD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE 1969 MEMBERSHIP I I ASSOCIATES: DIRECTORS OF ONTARIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WEEK APRIL 20-26 A.

I do feel that we have accomplished a great deal. The new dues structure certainly allowed us to maintain stability and reflected a surplus. If we are to continue to show progress other changes will be necessary. Because of the ever increasing demands for providing accurate, informative and factual information, administrative and operating costs continue to soar. It is quite obvious that we must solicit increased financial support from the membership and from the cities. I can assure you that all expenses are carefully considered and that all concerned continue to work diligently on your behalf. My thanks and appreciation to the permanent staff under Harvey Johnson and Bob Middleton and also to the Contact Club members who through their initiative assisted our current year's finances greatly. May next year allow us to continue fulfilling our obligations. 20th January, 1969. To the President and Members, Lakehead Chamber of Commerce of the Cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, Port Arthur and Fort William, Ontario. We have examined the balance sheet of the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce of the Cities of Port Arthur and Fort William as at 31st December, 1968 and the statements of accumulated surplus, revenue and expenditure and source and application of funds for the year then ended. Our examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tesets of accounting records and other supporting evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Chamber as at 31st December, 1968 and the results of its operations and the source and application of its funds for the year then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
