Sure, this means be­ ing outside, but wouldn't it he nice if there was a warm, comfortable classroom on site? The comfortable classroom was already available at (he Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area. It was the warmth that the Maitland Valley Con­ servation Authority couldn't afford to fund. The Maitland Conservation Founda­ tion, a non-profit fund raising organization, set to work to raise funds (or the installation of heating in the classroom. John MacDonald, President of Ideal Supply Company Lid., when approach­ ed for the contribution commented that he was happy to assist in the development of the Wawanosh Valley Conservation Education Centre. Mr. MacDonald also indicated his pleasure in supporting this type of local educa­ tional project. Today, thanks Io the generousity of Mr. J. MacDonald our classroom is lieated and from the staff and students al Wawanosh, our "warmest" thanks. Supplement to Godorlth Slpnol*Star, Lvtknow Sentinel, Clinton News-Record.
