BILL
C-311, THE CLIMATE CHANGE ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
|
|

|
|
Recently,
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce voiced its
concern in response to the introduction of Bill
C-311, The Climate Change Accountability Act.
The Canadian Chamber continues to support
actions to reduce the growth of greenhouse gas
emissions. Their main concern with Bill C-311 as it
now stands, is with the commitment to reduce
Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions over the next
ten years by 25% from 1990 levels (which in fact
represents a reduction of approximately 40% from
current figures).

TOP
CANADIAN VOLUNTEER SEARCH |

|
|
CBC
and Outpost Magazine have launched a six-month
search for the Top Canadian volunteers, Canada’s
Champions of Change. And, they have named the
entrepreneur, speaker and humanitarian, Frank
O’Dea, as the Chair of the panel of judges who
will select the finalists for this Canada-wide,
people’s choice award.
Do
you know someone who volunteers? Perhaps it is
someone who collects door to door for charities;
works in a soup kitchen; digs wells in Africa or
pushes wheel chairs at the local hospital? Here is
your chance to give him or her some well deserved
recognition. Go to the CBC website http://www.cbc.ca/change/
and fill out a nomination form, then get your
colleagues and friends to do the same.
