"Delivering train- ing in entrepreneurship skills to youth is critically important to their future busi- ness success. We want to encourage youth to remain in, or return to, our county and to consider starting up a business here." The event is designed to encourage sec- ondary school students to learn more about entrepreneurship through the cre- ation of an effective business plan. It encour- ages youth to consider entrepre- neurship as a possi- ble career option for the future and give them practical FRI., SEPT. 28 5-11 P.M.

'" trademark of Hurrter Unless we fix Ontario's electricity system, it's the economy that's in for a shock. For the last decade, our electricity system has been in turmoil. Not surprisingly, our economy is facing stiffer competition and we're also losing manufacturing jobs. And then there's the environment. The time for talk is over. Action must be taken to upgrade our existing transmission infrastructure. We can reduce smog emissions by finishing the retrofitting of our coal stations with proven clean coal technology. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by refurbishing existing nuclear units, building new ones and by using biomass at our coal stations. However, if we carryon with ideologically motivated projects, you can expect a different kind of shock. Higher electricity bills.
