Sponsored by tbe Ontario Trails Council and Trent University, the conference was very well attended by many professional and concerned citizens interested inx protecting die sensitive ecology of tbis vital landform, which stretchesfrom the Niagara Escarpmnent 10 the Trent River. Among the many speakers and panelists, a witty and perceptive presentation was given by SAGA (Save the Ganaraska AGAIN) Chairperson Katby Guselle, wbo spoke with. great humour on the "Realities of Planning on tbe Oak Ridges Moraine - A Citizen's, Perspective". Kathy likened bier experiences witb the "realities of land use planning issues" 10 something like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, because of ah bler preconceived ideasabout logicali planning processes were turned, topsy-turvy wben sbe got into the actual "wonderland" of tbe planning process. Judging from the way bier presentation was received by the appreciative audience, many people tbere shared bier feelings about the unreality of the wbole planning process, at least from a citizen's point of view. Two other presenters wortb mentioning were Ian Deslauriers, of the M.T. R.C.A., wbo gave an excellent slide presentation on "Trails in tbe Landscape in England and Germany-." Ian bad spent a year researcbing bis material, -whicb demnonstrated that witb r-Qpatix planning at 'ah levels of government, permanent green spaces can be incorporated using stewardsbip, heritage and conservation metbods witbin the planning process, but, be felt, tbere must be political will wilh public endorsement to do Ibis successfully. T heother speaker witb a planner from Massachusetts, Randal Arend,, wbo spoke on "Rural Design in Eastern USA", excerpted from bis award-winning publication. His ideas certainly gave new meaning 10 tbe concept of "lsustainable developmenî" lin rural and semi-rural areas, with sensitive and carefully planned estate residential developments wbich did flot intrude on the rural landscape, but instead, enhanced botb the homes and the surrounding countryside with a rich abundance of "greening". His planning manual sbould be requîred readîng by all Regional and Municipal Planners. We all came away with fresh ideas and new strategies for permanent Greenways and Green Space on the Oak Riciges Moraine, and with hopes that tbis secon d Conference on the ORM will develop into an annual event in our endeavours 10 save and preserve the ecology of this valuable landformn.

As a builder, people always ask me, "How dolI know my new home wil be built 10 the highest standards?" It's a good question. Because while ail homes are built 10 building code sýtandIards, there is only one type of home that's been given a f 1 special designation because it exceeds the building code to malte it more energy effi- cient. In fact,, il s 50 energy efficient that Ontario ilydro highly recommends it. t's cafied the R2000 homne. Seen from the street il looks like any other home. So what makes it so special? It's the way it's bufit. For example, R2000 homes are constructed with a greater attention to detail. This creates a more comfortable, even temperature in your home that also elinates drafts and cold spots. And because of extra insulation and good quality doors and windows, R2000 homes reduce noise froîn neighbours and outside trafflc. Is dlean, fresh air important 10 you and your family? The R2000 home lets you control the ve-ntilation in your home. For exaniple,, you don't have 10 open the window for fresh air, the ventilation system wiil ensure a contin- uous supply at ail limes by exhausting the stale indoor air and replacing it with fresh outdoor air. But there is one thiiig you must know. Builders must receive special training to build R2000 homes. And to ensure your home is built 10 officiai R2000 standards, it is individuaily inspected and given ils own certificate. So look for the R2000 symbol, it's your way of knowing that the home you buy is a better built home. For more information about R2000 homes, cail the certifled R2000 builder fisted below.
