4 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 1, 1993 dad Chia a) DEN to host forum June 3 Volunteers from Durham En- vironmental Network have or- ganized an educational forum. on NAFTA (the North Ameri- can Free Trade Agreement), with the goal of giving the gen- eral public more information about this controversial trade deal. The event is to be held on Thursday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lecture Theatre at G.L. Roberts C.V.I. Originally intended to fea- ture a total of six speakers, three who hold "pro" NAFTA views and three who are op- posed, the event's organizers found it impossible to line up three NAFTA defenders. Ross Stevenson, Conservative MP for the federal riding of Dur- ham, was prepared to speak in favor of the expanded trade agreement, but the many calls to locate two other speakers to even up the panel met with fail- ure. The Business Council on National Issues, the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the On- tario Chamber of Commerce, General Motors and Durham Region's. Manufacturers' Asso- ciation were all approached, but tono avail. DEN's event will now feature three speakers who will expand on their reasons for opposing the NAFTA deal. These are Mi- chelle Swenarchuk of the Cana- dian Environmental Law Asso- ciation, Susan Spratt of the national office of the Canadian Auto Workers' Union, and Catherine Goulet from the On- tario Coalition for Social Jus- tice. The Conservative govern- ment is currently rushing NAF- TA through the House of Com- mons, yet many Canadians remain puzzled about the deal and its implications for the economy and for our environ- ment and social institutions. DEN's educational forum will provide an excellent opportuni- ty for Durham residents to learn more and to ask some pointed questions about this highly controversial trade deal. Remember to participate on Wednesday, June 2 Call 985-7394 on Participaction Day On Wednesday, June 2, all township residents are invited to join in the fun by setting aside 15 minutes of physical ac- tivity. The Township will be competing with Uxbridge and Brock township in the Eleventh Anniversary Participaction challenge on Wednesday, June 2 to see which municipality can come up with the most amount of registration votes. This is a great opportunity for people of all ages to perform only 15 min- utes of exercise in order to show that our community is obvious- ly the most fit. Groups, organi- zations, and schools are encour- aged to keep track of the num- ber of individuals participating and then call in a group total. (This makes it easier than indi- vidual calls.)
