style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">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 group unless it is
over several years. 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>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">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>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">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.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

Ask Janet to put you individuality on her email list or we could have a GREN

depending ... (maybe specific criteria could be worked out in consultation
with Janet) in her every-2-months e-publication.<O:P></O:P></DIV>
