The building itself houses five offices, a drafting room, board room, resource centre, equipped lunch room, two wash- rooms and a reception area.

Taking sting out of summer To ease the pain of sunburns, first apply a cool, wet dressing to the burned area, then follow with a lotion, advises Consumers' Association of Canada. Baking soda and vinegar are two common household products which can provide temporary re- lief. A cloth soaked in a solution of one tablespoon baking soda in two cups water can soothe hot tender skin. Undiluted vinegar is another effective solution. Apply an oily lotion or cream or calamine lotion after the wet dressing. If you have a severe sunburn, characterized by pain and blistering plus fever, chills and nausea, consult a doctor.
