most recently as Senior Vice -
President of Decommission-
ing and Nuclear Waste
Management.
"Ms. Swami's extensive
experience makes her the

Ms. Swami will lead the
NWMO as it continues to
implement Adaptive Phased
Management, Canada's plan
for the safe, long-term man-
agement of used nuclear
fuel. The plan requires used
fuel to be contained and iso-
lated in a deep geological
repository. The organization
is currently implementing a
site selection process to
identify a safe location in an
area with an informed and
willing host.
"I have long been
impressed with the calibre of
the NWMO team and believe
strongly in its work," said Ms.

the opportunity to be part of
Canada's plan, and look for-

announced earlier this year
that he was stepping down

the nuclear sector, including
10 years leading the NWMO.

around the world," said Mr.
Robbins. "The Board has every
confidence this momentum
will continue in the months
and years to come."

p.m. at the Salvation Army
located at 303 Suncoast
Drive East.
A special presentation by
a member of the Huron
County Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) Community
Drug Action Team (CDAT)
will give parents, youth
workers, teachers and any
other interested community
members the information
they need to know when it
comes to drugs.
This visual presentation
will touch on relevant topics
such as: Drug Identification,
The Effects of Drugs on the
Body, Drug Paraphernalia,
Prescription Misuse &
Abuse, Street Lingo, Emerg-
ing Drugs and Safety Con-
cerns. Huron OPP will also
have on hand interactive
alcohol and marihuana
"Fatal Vision" goggles.
These goggles are
designed to simulate some
of the cognitive and physi-
cal effects of impairment by
alcohol and marihuana.
Additionally, the Huron
County Health Unit will have
resources available for par-
enting youth and how par-
ents can prevent or delay
underage drinking.
"One of our goals with the
Drug Education Forum is to
engage parents and arm
them with as much informa-
tion as possible on a topic
that isn't common knowl-
edge for most," Huron County
Youth Justice Committee
hair and Huron County
Crown Attorney, Teresa Don-
nelly. "With some increased
awareness and knowledge,
parents will be in a better
position to identify the warn-
ing signs of illicit drug use. It
is very difficult to have a con-
versation with your son or
daughter if you don't know
the language or have any idea
what they are talking about.
This is an excellent opportu-
nity to get informed on a
topic that touches so many of
our youth today:'
"We know drug traffickers
and distributers can reach
into our communities, large
and small," said Huron OPP
Detachment Commander,
Inspector Jason Younan. "We
also understand the serious
and devastating impacts of
the illegal use and abuse of
drugs can have on a commu-
nity's safety and well-being.
With that being said, we are
very pleased to have the
opportunity to partner with
the Youth Justice Committee
to bring this informative
Drug Education Forum to the
residents of Huron County.
Collaboratively with our
community partners, citizens
and neighbours we can build
safer and healthier
communities."
