Bert Bicknell, GM of Cana- da's Director of Plant Engineer- ing, said that "after its treat- ment here, the water is released for final treatment at the Re- gion of Durham's Water Pollu- tion Control Plant. Since each one is geared to do what it does best, this allows both our facili- ty and the region's to focus on | appropriate treatment." He noted that "integrating such sound environmental practices into our business deci- | sions is consistent with the Gen- | eral Motors Environmental | Principles which guide GM per- sonnel worldwide." In designing the facility, a so- larwall was included. Similar to one already in use in the neigh- boring Battery Plant, the wall pre-heats fresh air for distribu- tion throughout the building, thereby saving energy by utiliz- ing the sun while improving in- door air quality for employees. Peapples was joined at the of- ficial opening ceremony by a number of federal, provincial, regional and municipal govern- ment dignitaries, as well as GM and facility personnel, repre- sentatives of the CAW and the various skilled trades involved in the project as well as the sup- ~ plier community and members of the media.

This year there are also games at the Masters level, for players over the maximum age for PPG. In all, 130 youngsters from nine Central Ontario Region pony clubs are expected at this meet. Points accumulate through the season, with the Regional A | and B champions going on to | play for the Eastern Canadian | Championship at the C.N.E. | The two top A teams at the | C.N.E. advance to the National Championship, which will be hosted by the Western Ontario Region this year.
