From looking at your website, 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.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">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.
