> I’d just like to clarify…this newsletter covers a large area with  
> numerous environmental groups and I would not do a series on one

> I see GREN seems to primarily take positions on issues. Grand  
> Actions is not a place to outline a position, as you would do on the  
> op ed page of a newspaper.
> It is a place to outline actions (projects, initiatives) that have  
> or are about to take place within our watershed that improve the  
> environment, education about environment, appreciation, heritage,  
> sometimes research with concrete results.  One group may be covered  
> more than once if they have undertaken different initiatives that  
> are different from each other. For example, the City of Guelph re  
> grey water recycling and wastewater management leadership.
> Unfortunately Grand Actions can’t be everything that everyone wants  
> it to be—it is only a small newsletter that comes out every two  
> months and there is more going on in the watershed or even within  
> the GRCA than I can fit onto its 8 pages. The best way to understand  
> it is by reading back issue Grand Actions, which are posted on our  
> website in the Newsletters section.
> Of course, your group are most welcome to subscribe as individuals  
> or as a group and approach me with a possible story, but I don’t  
> want you to expect much.
> If you are looking at a series of articles, maybe developing your
