Barb MaJor-McEwan, executive director of the Huron Community Family Health Team, tours facul-
ty from the University of Waterloo's new School of Pharmacy, including Dr. Jack Thiessen, at left,
and Dr. Nancy Waite, through the Huron East Health Centre when they visited last Wednesday
to discuss how they could create further partnerships with the Gateway Rural Health Research
Institute, Healthkick and the family health team.
Gateway Research Institute applyin
for funding to build a lecture hall
Su.ean Hoodirtmark
A lecture hall could be the next building
erected near the Huron East Health Centre
if an agreement is worked out between the
Gateway Rural Health Research Institute
and academic centres like the University -of
Waterloo.
Faculty from the University of Waterloo's
new pharmacy program -visited Seaforth
last Wednesday to hear about the oppor-
tunities an academic centre could enjoy at
the Huron East Health Centre, from send-
ing. more co-op students to engaging in re-
search or offering lectures through video-
conferencing technology.
"There is a gold mine of opportunity here
and I look forward to cementing some. of
them. Let's get an agreement going," said
Dr. Jake Thiessen, director of the Health
Sciences Campus at the University of Wa-
terloo.
He asked if the Gateway board thought
a residence could be built as well to house
students and lecturers.
While the second pharmacy student from
the University of Waterloo is currently on
a four-month co-op with Gateway and the
Huron Community Family Health Team, a
daylong seminar was held to look at other
ways the two communities could partner.
Gateway president Lin Stuffier said af-
ter the meeting that the Gateway board is
working on an application to Industry Can-
ada for a $500,000 grant towards a lecture
hall and an application to OMAFRA for a
$15,000 grant towards computer equip-
ment.
"One of the aims of Gateway is to make an
educational centre so students don't have to
leave our area for training. If we can work
with the bigger centres, we can do our best
to keep our kids here," she said.
Steffier said a staff member from McMas-
ter University in Hamilton was also invited
to last Wednesday's meeting but scheduling
didn't permit her to attend.
"We're planning another visit. She's just
as enthused as Waterloo is about the pos-
sibilities here," she said.
Thiessen said the acronym for the Uni-
versity of Waterloo School of Pharmacy is
"epic," standing for "engaging people or
partnerships and inspirting change."
"We began with a partnership and we

CASA Engineering and
Construction will not be
ready to submit its 'environ-
mental assessment on two
10 megawatt wind projects
near St. Columban to the
Ministry of the Environ-
ment until it completes its
public consultation, says
special projects consultant
Jose Menendez.
Receiving less than 10
emails and letters with
concerns about the two St.
Columban wind projects,
Menendez says he is "just
in the throes of putting to-
gether the responses."
"We've received six from
the general public and some
from the municipality. And,
frankly, a lot of them are
very difficult for us to ad-
dress because they're state-
ments of fact, not questions.
And, they say things like,
'Please give the residents
of St. Columban a chance'
and we're not sure what
that means," he says, add-
ing that each of the letters
and emails received will be
given a formal response.
While Menendez says the
necessary field studies have
been completed on noise
and bird migration, a recent
concern about 100 Tundra
swans which were said to
have congregated on a local
landowner's property is still
being discussed.
"Ponding happened in
the area because a tile was
plugged so we think a solu-
tion would be to eliminate
