Source Protection United Way fundraiser
meeting in Exeter
EXETER — Ontario's first planning
committee to protect municipal
sources of drinking water under the
Clean Water Act met Oct. 25 in
Exeter.
The Ausable Bayfield Maitland
Valley Source Protection Committee
(SPC) is the first of 19 committees
being formed in the province to pre-
pare plans to protect municipal
drinking water sources.
The local SPC held a full-day meet-
ing to obtain background on the
Drinking Water Source Protection
planning initiative and to begin con-
sidering rules of procedure to gov-
ern the committee's planning work
over the next three to five years.
Representatives of industry, agri-
culture, commerce, municipalities,
environmental organizations and
the public -at -large were in atten-
dance to begin their work towards a
science -based plan to protect drink-
ing water sources.
Non-voting liaison members repre-
senting health, First Nations and
Source Protection Authorities were
also in attendance and contributed
to discussion.
"Committee members asked excel-
lent questions and showed a keen
interest in creating the foundation
for effective work in the future to
protect municipal drinking water
sources," says SPC chairperson
Larry Brown.
Thirteen of the 15 members of the
committee were present at the first
meeting. Only two members were
absent due to previous out -of -area
commitments. "
"It was great to see such an excel-
lent turn -out for the first meeting,"
says Brown, adding, "The group
worked very positively and effective-
ly together with some great dialogue
and input."
The committee expects to hold
future meetings in Clinton, which is
in a central location to the Source
Protection Region (SPR).
The committee next meets Nov.
28. All meetings are public.
There are 15 voting members on
the committee, representing one
third municipal representation, one
third economic -sector representa-
tion (agriculture, industry, com-
merce) and one-third other sectors
(including public -at -large, property
owner and environmental represen-
tation).
"This committee will have an
important role over the coming four
years in developing science -based
plans that will help to protect our
most valuable resource, which is
clean drinking water," Brown says.
The members of the committee
are: Marilyn Miltenburg (North), Ian
Brebner (South), Meredith
Schneider (East), Don Jones (West)
and Jim Nelemans (Central). The
economic members are: Keith Black
(Agriculture), Mike Strang
(Agriculture), Rowena Wallace
(Agriculture), Gib Dow (Commerce),
Al Hamilton (Industry). Other voting
members are Matt Pearson
(Environment), Bill Rowat
(Environment), Mike McElhone
(Property Owners), Gerry Rupke

committee will also include non-vot-
ing liaison members: Jim Ginn
(Source Protection Authority), Bob
Bresette (Kettle and Stony Point
First Nation), Joseph Gilbert
(Walpole Island First Nation), Bob
Worsell (Health) and a representa-
tive from the Ontario Ministry of
