Huron County with the hope
public demand will keep it
afloat after its federal
funding runs out in eight
months.
The centre is being
established by the depart-
ment of energy, mines and
natural resources through a
grant provided under the
Federal Labor Intensive
Program (FLIP).
Mark Riley, a regional co-
ordinator, said that his
department has received
$3,690,000 under FLIP.
Riley said about $49,300 of
that is being used to
establish the centre in Huron
County some time next
month. Similar centres will
be set up in Sarnia and Owen
Sound.
He said the idea is to have
the centre generate enough
public interest that another
group will take over when
the federal funding ends and
the centre will become a
permanent fixture.

The centre is still in the
formative stage and even the
location hasn't been an-
nounced, he said. There has
been speculation it will be in
Goderich. •
The centre will be headed
by Tony McQuail, a Lucknow
farmer who has been highly
vocal in anti-nuclear groups
and is considered a leading
conservationist in the area.
Riley said the exact roles
the centre will play will be
better known when McQuail
reports for a training course
in Ottawa and he and the
department have a chance
to exchange ideas.
When he returns from
Ottawa, McQuail will hire
six people to help him with
the project.
"Probably the most im-
portant role (for the centre)
is to go out into the com-
munity and foster con-
servation programs," Riley
said.
He said the centre will also
provide a focal point "where
people can come in and pick
up publications' on con-
servation."
Long-range goals to
generate permanent em-
ployment in conservation
fields will also be one of the
centre's tasks.
Riley said this could be
helping the community
establish some sort of in-
sulating or recycling
business.
He said the centre will also
be looking for a suitable
group such as a
municipality, church,
college or established
conservation group to take
over the project when the
federal funds run out.
McQuail said in an in-
terview that while he won't
know much about the
program until he returns
from Ottawa, he has some
thoughts on what it should
provide for Huron. County.
"What I'd like to see
develop is a centre that is
open in the evening with a
good library and a good staff
to talk about energy con-
servation."
McQuail said the project
will not become a lobby
group for anti-nuclear
groups.
"I don't see this program
as being against things but
for energy conservation."
