</span>Hi Don,<br>
<br>
I have emailed you as a membe of GUFF recently but I am also a member of Grand
River Environmental Network. You can pick up some of our info at the
website www.gren.ca .<br>
We have started our new year ( our 2nd year) and would like to continue with
connecting to the region on environmental issues. Usually we meet in
Kitchener. <br>
<br>
Because we are an advocacy group for the GRwatershed we would like to have a
meeting next month Oct 15th in Elora. This group formed last year ... and have
an educated group of members.. mostly still working in various enviro fields.
John Jackson of Great Lakes United is the chair this year and Susan Bryant of
Elmira is secty. One of our issues is protecting watersheds. The Waterloo
Moraine and the Paris Galt moraines have featured strongly this past year since
they are being developed. Also, there is a pipeline group advocating for
more conservation and protection. <br>
<br>
Meetings are from 715 -915pm. No money, no fees.. but lots of enviro talk..
They came to Guelph last spring where GUFF made a presentation on low impact
development and sustainability. (Guelph Urban Forest Friends) The GREN meetings
have 12-20 people working on various issues.. regional transit, tree canopy,
water protection, etc. So we do not need a huge space but would like to reach
out to other enviro groups in your area. <br>
<br>
The members would like to know the issues and challenges in the Elora Fergus
part of the watershed. Would you be interested in hosting this ? Perhaps
Neighbourwoods would present or the ECEE? The successes and obstacles that you
have had? <br>
Could we get space for a meeting and get the word out in Elora and Fergus for
enviro activists to come? That is a set date. <br>
<br>
I look forward to hearing from you , Don. I emailed Toni recently but
know she is up to her ears in building a new home. And I realize that you are
the contact person now for the ECEE. So I will just copy her on this.
<br>
<br>
Looking forward to meeting you... <br>
<br>
Norah Chaloner. <br>
