in approving the budget, the
authority also endorsed a pro-
posal by its public relations
advisory board to initiate a
quarterly review as well as
regular weekly newspaper
columns.
Resources manager Richard
Hunter 'said the project, 'which
could eventually include deve-
lopment of an adult education
program in conjunction with
Conestoga College, would in-
crease awareness in the water-
shed of the work of the authority.
``This authority is not that well
known," Mr. Hunter said.
"Maybe this sounds like we're
trying to promote a corporate
image but if we don't sell the,
authority, no one else will."
The authority also will study
the idea of developing a slide
display for use in schools and by
service clubs and church groups.
