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.

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."
