O ie i 38 eCP Environment is good news for business By DEREK COOMBER Special to the Beaver Halton and adjacent regions could be the major beneficiaries of Canada‘s first international environâ€" mental business initiatives, the presâ€" ident of McMaster University told area business people Monday. Dr. Geraldine Kenneyâ€"Wallace said the key to solving so many of the environmental problems facing society was the application of sucâ€" cessful local solutions in partnerâ€" ship with government. "We have to take a longâ€"term view. We have to work in partnerâ€" ship, share the risks, share the costs and get to the solutions faster," said Kenneyâ€"Wallace. The high international stakes and "the complexity of the subject means that you can‘t go it alone," she told the Mayor‘s Business Breakfast audience. She traced the origins of concern Grant will help fund antiâ€"racism program With an $18,000 grant from the Ministry of Citizenship, the Halton Multicultural Council hopes to creâ€" ate a model antiâ€"racism program that will eventually penetrate all schools in the region. The money is part of a total comâ€" mittment of $1,117,000 in provinâ€" cial grants to communityâ€"based organizations announced recently by the Antiâ€"Racism Project Funding Program, managed by the Ontario Antiâ€"Racism Secretariat of the Ministry of Citizenship. Plans for a pilot project, to be implemented initially at White Oaks Secondary School â€" which is curâ€" rently in partnership with the HMC to alleviate incidents of racial disâ€" crimination â€" will get underway immediately. The project, which will include resource material as well as seminars, will begin someâ€" time early next year at WOSS. "We have to educate not just the teachers but the students themâ€" selves," said Willie Campos, presiâ€" dent of the HMC. The $18,000 fund will go towards administrative costs, resource purchases and honorariums for experts, said Campos. The existing partnership between WOSS â€" with a 30% visible minoriâ€" ty student population â€" was launched when the school approached the council for help. chuise | @Holland America Line _ | A TRAdDTIO® of $R «9 "CRUISE | PRESENTATION® | “Tri;esa:;:m’f’ips” Bill McVean British Isles Cruise Tues., Mar. 29 7 p.m. Holiday Inn Oakville R.S.V.P.

Where? were some of the questions raised in the report. Kenneyâ€"Wallace said good ethics obviously make good business sense but the key was to see what could be learned from history and combine that with community issues, then build an interlocking relationship. A strong bond would lead to both job and wealth creation. "We know other countries are seeking to do it, particularly the Asiaâ€"Pacific countries," said Kenneyâ€"Wallace. "However, Canada had new Japanese links and there had been an "an irreversible shift from being solely dependent on resources by industry into a mindâ€"driven economy." "Everyone has a stake in the investment," said Kenneyâ€"Wallace. "There would be a need for experts to decide procedures in disputes and find solutions. Jurisdictional methâ€" ods would have to be agreed to. Kenneyâ€"Wallace suggested that the humble duckweed plant, which has three leaves and one root, was a model for looking at a lot of enviâ€" ronmental problems. "Everybody Loves a Walker‘s Bunny" .

It didn‘t matter how effiâ€" cient the meters were, when you ran out of spots, the only solution was to go elsewhere. Kenneyâ€"Wallace said both local and national environmental experts would be brainstorming on relevant topics during Environmental Excellence Week that will be takâ€" ing place in Hamilton from May 2ndâ€"6th.
