Frîday, SAGA holds annual meeting The Save the Ganaraska Again committee held their annual meeting last week with a good tumnout of members. The annual meeting was held prior to the introduction of David Crombie who addressed even a larger crowd. Kathy Guselle, president of SAGA presented a review off events during the year ini which SAGA had been active and outlined its mandate of preservation and conservation of the valley of the headwaters of the Ganaraska River. She spoke of the organizing of SAGA in March of 1989 when it was feit that planning for the aiea was inadequate to preserve the headwater aiea of the Ganaraska. It was pointed out that SAGA had pushed for furtheî studies to be undertaken in the watershed with the resuit that the Mînistry -of the Environment had appointed the Environmental Assessment Advisory Committee to hold a public hearing which did take place resulting in fourteen strong recornmendations. SAGA has commented on a number of proposais in the aiea, including the Leskard Hamiet plan as it relates to the environment. The group has made input into such as the Canter Commission and the Crombie report and actively takes part in a number of umbrella groups such as S.T.O.R.M., the Durham Enviîonmental Network and others who have similar goals as does SAGA. The president of the association has on a number of occasions been' a guest panelist and with other members of the executive have been 'active in conducting educational projects. 1SAGA became incorporated this year. 1During the course of the meeting Roy Forrester, on behaif of SAGA, presented a framed coloured photograph to Mary Rutherford for Sid Rutherford who holds a great interest in the environmental aspects of the Ganaraska. In the election of officer Kathy Guselle was re-elected president, Elva Reid, vice-president and Niva housed along with books, articles, and joumnals. Such a combination, under the organization of a capable teacher, can provide an excellent opportunity for stu dents to gain knowledge and subsequently apply it. tais call You may be inteîested to know that Ministry of Education officials have received several r week. delegations fîom Japan, which is ýked to in the pîocess of expanding its Leep in computers-in-education piogiam.
