Environment Fair takes shape The North Huron Environment Group met on Thursday evening to discuss the upcoming Environment Fair, set for Oct. 1 in Brussels at the Community Centre. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Plans are shaping up nicely, according to Committee Chairper­ son Donna White, with many indi­ viduals, businesses and ogan- izations already committing to a display booth, though there are still many available. Mrs. White noted that they could easily house about 40 more exhibitors and are hoping that the response will continue favourably. Invitations were sent to 85 poten­ tial exhibitors and the committee will be spending the few weeks left, following up on these to guar­ antee the most diverse selection possible. Participants expected at this point include, Maitland Valley Conserva­ tion Authority, the Huron County Health Unit, LH Resource Manage­ ment and the Ministry of the Envi­ ronment. The Five R's Community Thrift Shop will be demonstrating the cutting machine which slices old material to be used in mats. The Ontario Waste Exchange will have a display as well as a speaker present and several local businesses have become involved as well. There will be a woman there who makes 'indisposable' diapers and another woman with a bosch machine which she will use to grind grains and bake bread. In addition there will be video presentations on such things as energy saving and composting. Mrs. White hopes to establish the diplays and presentations in such a way that visitors will see a wide and interesting variety of things. Admission is free and there will be door prizes and giveaways, donated by various organizations. The Majestic WI is operating a food booth throughout the event. Sponsored by Canada 125, the fair will be the completion of the first stage of the button battery pro­ gram. Mrs. White said that the committee will be collecting the batteries from various North Huron and some Goderich retailers, who have been collecting them over the past few months, prior to the fair, when there will be a contest for individuals to guess the number of batteries collected. Mrs. White says organizing the event has been a tremendous amount of work, but they hope to repeat it next year as they believe the benefits are worth it. Education is the principle one, best accom­ plished when started early, so the committee has sent invitations to the area schools. Enthusiastic response has already been received from Brussels principal Dave Kemp. The main goal, she says-, is to promote public awareness of the environmentally friendly alterna­ tives and educate people. "Things like how to be a zero garbage shop­ per," said Mrs. White. "People are really good to participate if they know what they can do and where to start. We want to show them the products and services available and give them the information to help them on the way." The next meeting of the Environ­ ment Group is set for Sept. 21. Fur­ ther information can be obtained by calling Mrs. White at the Brussels Municipal Office. Grey Township Council held its regular meeting on Aug. 31 and declared the week of Sept. 27 to Oct. 4 as Waste Reduction Week. Council donated a composter as a door prize to the Environmental Fair being sponsored by the North Huron Environment Group in Brussels on Oct. 1. Council authorized grants of $100 to the Huron Plowman's Association, $25 to the Wingham Palliative Care Services Inc. and $500 to the Mount Pleasant Cemetery Board. Council decided that the shelving, chairs and tables from the former Ethel Library would be disposed of al a public auction. rjher Comfort "The most energy-efficient technology available today." fg I* 14 Appliance zz The WaterFurnace - System is ~>z a suPer energy-efficient appliance that uses geothermal energy to provide your home with heating, cooling and hot water from a single, compact unit.
