When Darlington is finished, it will contain enough concrete to duplicate duplicate the CN Tower 18 times over. Even before concrete pouring began, workers and machinery removed 8.5 million million square metres of earth, enough to cover a Canadian football field - goal-line to goal-line -- to a depth of 205 yards (187 metres). The Darlington station is the largest construction project currently underway in North America. When completed in 1992, it will have cost $10.9 billion and will have a permanent operating staff of 700. At the peak of construction activity activity in 1985-86, it will employ 4,500 persons. Darlington's four nuclear reactors will supply enough power to meet the equivalent equivalent electricity needs of all of Metropolitan Toronto on Premier Takes Part in Opening The Darlington Nuclear Generating Station's new Information Centre, which had about 8000 visitors in 1984, was officially opened last month by Ontario Premier Premier William Davis. The Information Centre has been providing tours and information for visitors since 1977 from a small bungalow bungalow on site. In early spring 1984 the centre opened its doors full-time in a modern building which overlooks the bustling construction construction site. The centre is open for casual visitors to drop in and enjoy its displays, films and the use of its reference library. Bus tours of the site are also offered. The centre provides these services from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a weekduringthe summer summer months. The rest of the year the centre is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Special presentations and tours are provided to educational and technical groups as well as official groups from across Canada and around the world. Inschool Inschool presentations are offered offered for grades 6 to 13. The centre can arrange speakers speakers on a wide range of Hydro subjects for community community meetings. The new centre is available available free of charge to community community groups or organizations organizations who wish to use its facilities facilities for public meetings. Ontario Hydro provides this centre as a forum to deal with the concerns of the local community and other Ontario citizens and to supply information on Ontario Hydro, nuclear power and the Darlington Generating Station.

The aim of the program, sponsored by the Region of Durham Department of Health, is to make children aware of the disease and teach them rules on how to avoid getting rabies. Although we know more about rabies and the threat it presents, the fatal disease is still a continuous public health concern in Southern Ontario. An average of one thousand instances of contacts contacts between humans and animals suspected of having having rabies are investigated by public health inspectors of the Durham Regional Department Department of Health Services, Services, each year. Because sixty per cent of the above mentioned contacts contacts involve elementary school-aged children, the Health Sendees hopes to focus their promotion, of rabies awareness on all 45,000 of these children. During the special week, health officials are seeking the assistance of all school teachers to teach a short lesson on rabies to their pupils. The message is a simple five point list of things for students follows in order to avoid contracting rabies: 1. Avoid Wild Animals: Southern Ontario has a lot of wild animals and more animals are found with rabies here than anywhere else in North America. Wild animals usually do not like people, so if they come near they are probably sick with rabies. Therefore, you should avoid touching wild animals and places where wild animals live. 2. Avoid Dead or Sick Animals: Animals: Strangely acting animals, animals, even your pet animals may be sick with rabies so stay away from them especially especially when their behaviour has changed. Do not touch dead animals because if they died of rabies you could still get the disease. 3. Report Sick Animals to Parents: If you see a sick animal, either wild or a pet, tell your parents or teacher so that the animal can be taken care of safely. 4. Report Bites or Scratches to Parents or Teachers: If you are bitten, scratched, sprayed or licked by an animal animal of any kind, do not be afraid to tell your parents. If the animal was rabid the doctor can help make sure you do not get rabies. 5. Have Your Pets Vaccinated: Vaccinated: Ask your parents to make sure that they are protected protected from getting rabies from wild animals or other cats and dogs. If you keep your pets tied up or indoors especially at night, you may protect your pet from being attacked by a rabid animal. By encouraging these children to take the message message learned in school home to their parents, an additional 30,000 households households may also be reached with this important message. message.
