The Lucknow Sentinel, 1978-02-22, Page 1Tony McQuail Comordinates Energy Resource Centre Tony McQuail, R. R. 1 Luck - now, is co-ordinating the estab: lishment of An energy resource centre in Goderich which will open March 1; one of 149 centres set up across the country through the Federal Labour Intensive Program, (FLIP). The Goderich Community Con- servation Centre, like its courntpr- parts in Stratford and Owen Sound, are to encourage less resource consumption and edu- cate the public on resource alternatives. mom. The project is geared to working with the community in helping meet their needs and •desires on energy conservation. Tony his hired six additional full-time employees to staff the centre which is expected to -be open six days a week and most evenings. The employees will be trained as a group to acquaint themselves with the purpose of the program. McQuail explained that the • group hopes to establish an extensive library on energy, conservation -and alternative en- ergy sources such as solar heating And wind powered generators. He added that the .group will be prepared to give demonstrations and talks on various aspects of, conservation and energy alterna- tives. The resource centre in Goder- ich will only be operational for six months but it is hoped the basic formula of the program, educat- ing the' public, will be carried on by community or church groups. The resource centre.will close the first week of September. 'And Tony's main objective, ' other than making the public aware of the centre and, its benefits, will be to work with community groups and teachers as well, who may want to include conservation on their curriculum, so the program may continue on its own merit when the centre closes.
