Special Projects 



DEPARTMENT OF REFORM INSTITUTIONS 



During the year 1964-65 the Ontario Department of Reform Institutions, 

 through their forestry camp programme, has provided more than 14,000 man- 

 days of labour for forest improvement. They have also cut firewood, maintained 

 buildings, and otherwise provided for themselves at low cost in the four camps. 

 These camps are located at McCreight's Dam, near Thessalon; Hillsdale and 

 Hendrie Forest in Simcoe County, north of Barrie; and at Coldsprings in the 

 Ganaraska Forest. 



JUNIOR RANGERS 



The 1,600 Junior Rangers have done a good deal of work in improving 

 forest stands, as well as in caring for parks, roads, buildings, and docks. As these 

 youths are available for only a two-month period with no previous working experi- 

 ence and little background of woods work, they must be given instruction and 

 very careful supervision when working on forest improvement.
