Environment Canada
celebrates local partnership
WINGI-IAM - The grand opening
of the Wingham River Flats Eco-
logical Park was announced Thurs-
day by Paul Steckle, Member of
Parliament for Huron -Bruce, on be-
half of the Deputy Prime Minister
of Canada and Minister of the Envi-
ronment Sheila Copps. The project
is the culmination of a three-year
partnership between Environment
Canada and the Wingham Horticul-
tural Society, under the Environ-
mental Citizenship Initiative, to re-
habilitate and enhance the
watercourses, floodplain and val-
leylands in Wingham's Mill Re-
serve.
Through this partnership, hun-
dreds of native trees, shrubs, and
wildflowers have been planted in
the park, resulting in improved ter-
restrial and aquatic habitats. Aquat-
ic habitat has been further im-
proved through the placement of
"vortex weirs" placed in the river
channel to reduce hank erosion and
create fish habitat. A walking trail
that winds along the river has also
been completed. The project com-
plements Great lakes 2000, a fed-
eral program which aims to restore,
protect and enhance the integrity of
the Great Lakes ecosystem.

Vaccinations for Grade 7
students expected in October
Province -wide in school vaccinations and information
sessions will be offered to Grade 7 students
EXETER - The Huron County
Public Health Unit is in the plan-
ning stages for setting up Hep-
atitis B vaccinations for Grade 7
students.
"Immunizing should begin just
after Thanksgiving," said Marlene
Price, the assistant director of
nursing with the health unit.
But first, the health unit is get-
ting ready to go into the schools
to provide information sessions
about the virus and benefits of the
three -stage vaccination.
While the vaccinations are on a
voluntary basis, Price said the
health unit is encouraging parents
to safeguard against the virus.
A provincial ministry of health
release stated that more than 300
cases of Hepatitis 13 are reported
in Ontario every year. Although
no cases have been reported in
Huron County over the last year,
that doesn't mean people don't
have the virus.
Information provided by the
ministry of health states that peo-
ple can be infected and pass it on
to others without knowing.
Hepatitis B can be spread by
contact with the blood or bodily
fluid of a person with the virus. It
can cause permanent liver dam-
age and in some cases, death. It
is also the leading cause of liver
cancer in the world.
While there is no cure for the
virus, it can be prevented with the
vaccine.
Provincial health minister Ruth
Grier announced funding for the
school based program in recent
weeks and said immunizing
Grade 7 students ensures they
will be protected well before they
might be exposed to the virus.
The vaccination will be given
by public health nurses through a
series of three injections over a
six month period.
