Minutes of GREN Executive Meeting

Sept. 8, 2010

 

Present: John Jackson, Susan Bryant, Susan Koswan, Greg Michalenko, Theo
Negoita, Kevin Thomason by speakerphone 

 

Upcoming Municipal Elections:

.         We reviewed Susan K.'s draft document Waterloo Region: Creating a
Sustainable and Resilient Community to be sent to candidates stating GREN's
views. Greg will work on a tightened version. We'll review it and e-mail it
to all candidates. 

.         Fluoridation, amalgamation, and transit main election issues.

.         Agreed that it's too late to do a survey or report card on
incumbents-Environmental Defense has a survey, and UW students are doing a
report card.

.         We will encourage GREN members to help/support the GREN members
who are running: Yvonne Fernandes, Susan K. and Jan Liggett. And to go to
all-candidates meetings to ask our GREN questions. Otherwise, GREN won't
officially endorse specific candidates. 

.         How to involve Guelph?

.         Susan K. will get contact info for the 3 GREN candidates and send
it to all GREN.

.         Susan K. and Theo will work on putting links to candidates on the
GREN website.

 

Next GREN Meeting - Sept. 29, 7:15, St. John's Kitchen

.         John will do an agenda and send notice of meeting to all GREN.

.         Agenda will include setting the year's meeting dates, discussion
of possibilities for this year's topics/speakers, pipeline committee report.

.         One idea for topics is how to target leading institutions (RIM,
UW, etc.) to take a lead on local environmental issues and to set an example
by greening up their own practices.

.         GREN will make a donation to St. John's Kitchen for using the
meeting space.
