<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After reveiwing Gord Miller's annual report on the
state of Environment it may be worth while to have an summary report or abstract
made up (15 minutes?) We are not the only ones who are not overly
impressed with the actions, or in-actions, of the government and it's
ministries.</FONT></DIV>

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.
