[All] re GREN

[Lori Strothard]

although I haven't made it out to any meetings yet, I certainly appreciate the email connections to keep aware of about env'tal things occurring that I may or may not be aware of.  I think GREN is important to KW and possibly a wider realm, as KW is a significant city/area that needs as many environmental voices as possible with all this unbelievable dismantling of env'tal protection going on federally. Maybe the group may just needs a little more structure ? - ie. maybe a person who is designated to set up the meetings, perhaps a regular meeting time such as 3rd Wed. of every month or something - yes I know, easier said than done. Way to go Susan on defeating Chudleigh's bill and being on top of that. Look forward to the BBQ, Lori (Strothard)

  Hi GREN members,

   

  Does GREN still exist? 

   

  Can't remember how long it's been since GREN had a meeting. I have no idea what anyone else is doing, we're not doing anything collectively, although it seems Lulu has her finger in every environmental pie 8-) 

   

  So what's up? Should we disband? Or do we need a central goal that fires us all up? Is that even possible? Or are we just a convenient list to post to when we've got a beef, some news, a call for bums in seats? 

   

  I expect this insane omnibus bill will truly make it Harper's Canada. 

   

  I was out of commission for most of last year with family stuff, rallied the usual suspects over the last month to make sure MPP Ted Chudleigh's weakening of the Pesticides Act (Bill 88) didn't pass and negate the Cosmetic Pesticides Ban. It didn't pass so your dandelions are safe. 

   

  Is anyone up for a potluck/social evening before summer holidays begin to catch up, so we can reconnect in person? 

   

  Susan K
