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.
