Your Commitment To The Environment

Environmental projects include possible paper fair

From pase 23

North Shore environmental theme.
Listed below are events to
look forward to:

@ Tonight and tomorrow is your
chance to get good information on
the Eurasian Gypsy moth problem
on the North Shore.

A representative from
Agricukute Canada will explain
why the moths pose such a great
threat to our environment and
economy, what you can look out
for, and planned control methods.

The information meetings will

take place at the Lynn Canyon
Ecology Centre tonight at 8 p.m.
and tomorrow (Saturday) at 2
p.m. If possible, call 987-5922 in
advance to let them know you're
coming.
@ The North Shore Economic
Development Commission (EDC)
is organizing a huge booth to
showcase up to 20 North Shore
environmental businesses at Globe
92, an international eco-informa-
tion and trade fair taking place
March 16 to 19,

1’ll Jet you know more about

Globe as the date nears. While the
general public might not be ter-
ribly interested in viewing com-
posting tub grinders or other
hardware that goes along with the
business, there will be a long
roster of international speakers
that would be good to hear. Stay
tuned.
@ For all of you who loved last
fall’s mixed paper drop-off the
NSRP heid at The Bay, Park
Royal, take heart — we hope to
have a similar event this summer.

The NSRP has applied for
funds to have a ‘‘Paper Fair’’
during Environment Week, where
you can not only drop off your
paper for recycling but learn how
to make paper, create paper crafts
on-site, and more.

Waste Transfer Station. Efforts are under way in hopes of reaching that goal with the possibility of keeping 30,000 tonnes cf the stuff
