Education Notes
O'Xeiu Choir Performs
The 25 young men of the
O'Neill Spanish National
Orchestra, actually a
men's choir, performed
under the direction of
Music Head Russ Baird.
The choir presented 4
selections. including My
Wild Irish Rose and a com-
ical ballad entitled The
King of Spain. Trustees
thanked the group for the
excellence and variety of
their selections and wished
the young men future suc-
cess in both their musical
and academic studies.
Uxbridge Boundaries
Revised
In response to the re-
quest of delegations of Ux-
bridge parents. the board
approved a motion to
revise the boundaries of
Uxbridge P.S. to include
the Quaker Village and
Beechwood subdivisions.
The parents felt that the
distribution of students bet-
ween Uxbridge P.S. and
Joseph Gould P.S. was une-
qual and that overcrowding
was becoming a real pro-
blem at Joseph Gould P.S.
As well, both pedestrian
and vehicular traffic out-
side the school were
becoming safety issues.
The revised boundaries
will redistribute the
siuj&nts more fairly het -

Issue of Regulation to be
Raised
Trustees requested that
the matter of the Generic
Hazardous Substance
Regulation under the Oc-
cupational Health and
Safety Act be raised with
the Ontario Public School
Baords' Association.
Durham staff are recom-
mending simplification of
the complicated forms• the
right to share air sampling
results, and the right of
employers to establish
which substances should be
regulated. The board
estimates that the local
cost of complying with the
current regulation will be
about $1.4 million per year.
Construction Update
Presented
Trustees received a con-
struction update in the
form of slides from
Superintendent of Educa-
tion Plant Mike Graham.
The board's maintenance

Bob's Notes
by Bob Watson
Canada Day
Well. it's our beloved country's 126th birthdav on Thurs.
July 1st so why don't we all celebrate' We understand that
some companies are going to keep open on July 1st and be
off Fri. July 2nd so employees can have a long weekend. Is
there no feeling of Canadianism'' Those of us Canucks who
have a strong sense of being Canadian really object to
anyone - other than very essential services - working on
Canada Day.
Discrimination
Many laws have been passed in recent times - especially
by the Ontario government - designed to give "equality" to
the minorities. After many laws such as "pay equity" we
have decisions on salaries for women made equal to men,
not in the same occupation but any work in which men
dominate in numbers. This is not equality. Equality should
be for those occupying the same kind of work.
These artificial laws are creating mode large costs in our
labour force. and besides the artificial equality is making
our ability to compete in the world market difficult - as well
as increased unnecessary government casts.
Queen's Park Report
Bob Frankford, M.P.P.
Scarborough East
Mannseniors have spoken to me about how health in-
surance cutbacks will affect their retirement and travel
pians. OHIP is paying less while costs keep going up.
It's a tough problem. I have met many peoplewho trade
retirement plans based on reasonable expectations of
coverage. But American medical costs are skyrocketing
and increased coverage could mean substantial tax in-
creases. This leads to real difficulties for Ontarians who
have properties in Florida and see the casts being unsus-
tainable. .
This also creates problems for Florida. too. It has a
tourist economy and doesn't want to lose the business
revenue seniors represent-
] have suggested an approach which could benefit
evervone. Ontario and Florida could offer reciprocal
coverage for each other's citizens. Tike many American
states. Florida is moving towards creating its own health
insurance plan and it might not be too difficult to work out a
mutual coverage.
Insurance carvers such as Blue Cross provide sup-
plementary coverage but the costs are malting this un-
manageable.
We should explore reciprocal benefits and I have wntten
to Ruth Grier and to the Governor of Florida proposing this.

Report From Parliament
from Bob Hicks
MP Scarborough East
Federal Contribution to Improve Safety at
Scarborough Railway Crossings
Scarborough East M.P. Bob Hicks has announced on
behalf of Transport Minister Jean Corbeil a S39B.5W federal
contribution to improve safety at the C% Rail level cross-
ings on Morningside, Poplar and Galloway Roads. Scar-
borough.
The contribution will provide- during the 1993 construc-
tion season, for the addition of constant warning -time
devices to the automated warning systems. These devices
assure the same amount of warning ime to the motorist or
pedestrian regardless of the speed of the train.
The doubie-track crossings, on '.Morningside and Poplar
Roads, are used by 92 trains and up to 7.360 vehicles a day.
The train speed limit is 152 km h while vehicle traffic
moves at 50 km h. The three -track crossing on Galloway
Road is used by 79 trains and 3,500 vehicles a day.
The three crossings are located respectively at mileages
:20.41, 320.65 and 320.95 on the Kingston Subdivision.
A 1992 survey showed that one out of 10 Canadian drivers
has been involved in a collision or near -collision at a
railway crossing.
"Improvement projects such as this are a significant con-
tribution to safety at railway crossings," Mr. Hicks said.
"But each and every motorist and pedestrian also has a
responsibility to exercise caution at railway crossings."
This improvement project is part of an ongoing effort by
Transport Canada to upgrade safety at railway crossings
across the country," Mr. Hicks said. '"Irarsport Canada is
also working with the Railway Association of Canada on
'Operation Lifesaver', a public education program that pro-
motes safety at railway crossings.
As well, Transport Canada has an ongoing safety inspec-
tion program in which regional officials examine railway
crossings in their area for safety improvements.
The federal funds are being provided from a Transport
Canada program to improve rail safety. The department
funds up to 80 per cent of the total cost of railway crossing
improvements and the balance is provided by the railways,
municipalities or provinces.
Queen's Park Report
Elinor Caplan
M.P.P. Oriole
After two months of fruitless and frustrating talks with
government employees, the NDP has now taken some steps
to resolve what has been a totally chaotic situation. After
the failure of the so-called social contract negotiations,
aimed at saving $2 billion in public sector wages, Bob Rae
has now agreed to a series of local negotiations, which the
Liberal Opposition has been proposing all along. The pro-
vincial government and other employer groups, including
municipalities, hospitals and school boards, will all have
the opportunity to sit down with their own employees and
work out suitable agreements to each sector which are ac-
ceptable to both workers and employers. The government's
goal of saving the $2 billion through negotiation now has a
chance.
We understand and support the need for restraint. We
also believe that, because of Bob Rae's financial blundering
during the past two and half years, the government's sav-
ings' objective must be achieved. Had Rae recognized and
dealt with Ontario's economic difficulties a lot earlier, the
government wouldn't find itself in the mess it is in today.
Throughout the social contract talks, we maintained that
it was impossible for the government to centrally re-
negotiate 9,000 separate collective agreements, or to find
broad -brush solutions to the government's fiscal problems.
The Premier's decision to allow sector by sector negotia-
tions will allow, for the best solutions to be found. He has
finally admitted that we were right.
We believe that public sector workers and employers
understand the need to address the provincial
government's financial difficulties. They have
demonstrated this by participating in the efforts that have
already been made to reduce costs and to negotiate an
agreement. We believe the government can find the savings
without massive layoffs or cuts in essential services.
Allowing our schools, hospitals and municipalities to
work out separate solutions with their employees
represents the best chance for success. Who krxyws better
than front line employees where savings can be achieved'.
We disagree strongly with one of the Progressive Conser-
vative party positions (there have been several, as Mike
Harris' stance keeps changing) that the government simply
legislate wage rollbacks. We do not support ripping up col-
lective agreements that were negotiated in good faith and
having solutions imposed.
The uncertainty, anxiety, and instability of past weeks
must be put behind is so the government can concentrate
on getting the province and its people back to work. The
local negotiation process offers the best tope for this to be
achieved
Queen's Park Report
Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P.
Scarborough West
Culture. Tourism and Recreation Minister Anne Swar-
brick has brought together industry, business, labour and
government partners to develop a broad tourism sector
strategy for Ontario. The strategy will focus on building
strategic alliances of stakeholders in Ontario's $16.9 billion
tourism industry in recognition of the crucial role tourism
will play in Ontario's economic restructuring.
To that end, Minister Swarbrick has annouuneed the crea-
tion of an advisory committee to make recommendations
for a strategic plan of action.
"Our government is serious about working with labour
and industry to rebuild the economy and put Ontanans
back to work. We have all seen radical changes in the
economy over the past few years. This committee will drive
the strategy and help restructure our tourism industry,"
Minister Swarbrick told tourism industry stakeholders at a
media conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
Chairing the Minister's Advisory Committee will be
Michael Beckley, President of Commonwealth Hospitality.
"My vision of the strategy will increase Ontario's market
share, while reducing or slowing the growth of the
province's travel deficit," Mr. Beckley told stakeholders at
the media conference. Mr. Beckley pointed out that if On-
tario gained 10 percent of the U.S. and overseas absolute
markets, that gain would put $4.2 billion into the provincial
economy.
Three vice-chairmen will assist Mr. Beckley. Alan Stark,
President of American Express, Canada, will lead the in-
dustry sector group. Ethel La Valley will head the employ-
ment, training and service delivery group. Sandra Chabot,
Manager of the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association,
will lead five regionally -based committees.

3rd Annual Heart Hike
This July 1 marks Scar-
borough's third annual of-
fering of the Canada Day
"Heart Hike".
Presented by the Scar-
borough Health Depart-
ment, organizers say the
Heart Hike promises a fun
activity for the whole fami-
ly.
Carolyn Wilby, coor-
dinator of the event, points
out there are some impor-
tant changes this year.
"For starters, we're not
offering a run. Instead,
we're focusing all our at-
tention on a walk - a true
heart Hike, she says.
"And everything hap-
pens right in Thomson
Park. People won't have to
make their way to the Scar-
borough Civic Centre as in
our previous years...
Along the new Heart
Hike route in Thomson
Park, walkers will find
several information sta-
tions. Groups can take a
breather and visit with
Health Department
representatives.
Wilby encourages par-
ticipants to also look for the
"Scarborough Goes
Sightseeing" station.
'We'll be giving out a kit
complete with everything
you need to start a fun ac-
tivity program of your
own,- she says.
The Heart Hike opens at
10 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m.
Participants can walk
anytime between these
hours.
Entry forms will be
available in Thomson Park
(East side of Brimley Rd.,
north of Lawrence, south of
Ellesmere) on Canada
Day. You can also register
before July 1, by calling the
Scarborough Health
Department at 396-5116.
Costs for the Heart Hike
are low. Before July 1 - $2.
On July 1 - $3. Or you can
organize a group of five
walkers and the organizer
will walk for free. That's
five people for $8.
There is also a Bring -a -
Buddy for a Buck option,
not offered July 1 where
two hikers can participate
for $3.

suggested that our long

as a model for other institu-
tions.

The Under-

a challenge cup in 1923, which
was tantamount the women's

involved teams from all provinces

Grads never lost a series. When
the team was disbanded in

awarded to its first — and only

players from high school basket-

exhibition matches at the 1924,
19221, 1932 and 1936 Olympic
Games, the Grads never lost a
match and they out -scored their
opponents a remarkable 1,863

The team financed itself from
gate proceeds, but the players
never received a penny. Their only
motivation was a love of basket-

inducted into the Canadian Sports
Hall of Fame in 1971, she admit-

"We were a team," she said. "We
were closer than sisters."

Grads disbanded — every one of

These young people are on

locations: just inside the
Princes' Gates and in the
old coat deck room on the
east side of the Dufferin
Gates.
It is at one of these loca-

the fair. In some cases, our
staff has even gone outside
the gates to meet cars and
buses.
Please note that for this

Wed. June 30, 1993 THE NEWS 'POST Page 7
with Rene Soetens, MA P.
Congratulations are in order for Kim Campbell, who
recently emerged victorious at the federal Progressive
Conservative leadership convention as Canada's • 19th
Prime Minister. Acclamation is also forthcoming for the
other candidates, particularly for Jean Charest who won
the respect of many Canadians from all over the country.
From this convention, it is quite apparent that Conser-
vatives are committed to the philosophy of deficit and debt
reduction. Both Campbell and Charest bore this priority as
major planks in their platforms, and its recognition as one
of the most important issues facing this country was shared
by the delegates who were involved in the selection process.
This campaign was an exciting one. Nowhere was this
more apparent than right here in Ontario riding, where the
imagination of many residents was captured. Many people
sought to get active in the P.C. Party as a direct result of
the campaign. and this was evident clear across the coun-
try.
As the final result was clear. I was particularly pleased to
see delegates choose Kim Campbell on the basis of her
credentials -experience, intelligence and innovative think-
ing to name a few. It was certainly my experience that
there was no obligation among the delegates to vote for her
on the basis of her gender. Clearly, this shows that in our
Party, there is no such thing as a token.
Again. I extend my congratulations to Kim Campbell.
and wish her all the best in a job where I am confident she
will succeed admirably.

Sergio Marchi M.P. York
West, delivered an ex-
cellent and arousing
speech, alerting everyone
of the irresponsible leader-
ship the Tory administra-
tion has given over the past
nine years.
John Cannis delivered a
powerful and electrifying
presentation of what
Liberal inclusion and con-
sultation is all about. He
had his audience enthrall-
ed, as he spoke about the
Liberal legacy, its rich
history, and what tremen-
dous results it brought to
our country.
John spoke about the
Liberal Team of 93, led by
Jean Chretien who once
again will provide that
special type of leadership.
Leadership with compas-
sion and understanding.
Leadership that will
restore the dignity and
pride, not Just to the people
of Canada, but to our
political institutions, which
the Tories for the past nine
years have made a
mockery of.
John's closing statement,
"Lets make Jean Chretien
the next Prime Minister of
Canada," brought the
crowd to its feet. They
responded with a loud and
boisterous standing ova-
tion.

Soapberry Cleaning Up In Moscow
What do Levi's,
McDonalds, and
SoapBerry Shop all have in
common? They are all
North American born
trends expected to take
Moscow by storm in the
1990's. What sets
SoapBerry Shop apart
from the rest? It has 100%
Canadian roots.
With its Moscow Grand
Opening scheduled for this
spring in Red Square,
SoapBerry Shop is the first
fully Canadian retail com-
pany to expand into Russia.
Natasha Rajewski, founder
and president of SoapBerry
Shop, initiated the decision
to branch out into Eastern
Europe. Of Russian
ancestry, Ms. Rajewski felt
the desire to return to her
family ties by bringing her
Canadian retail expertise
back to Moscow.
"We've been very suc-
cessful in Canada and the
U.S. to date. We believe the
time is right to bring out
products and our message
to Russia, Eastern Europe
and the world,.. said Ms.
Rajewski.
Not only is SoapBerry
Shop bringing its skin, hair
and bath products into
Russia, but it is also bring-
ing the message of en-
vironmental awareness.
The concept of en-
vironmental responsibility
is new to Russians, and
Natasha Rajewski hopes
the "green" SoapBerry
Shop products will be their
first step in helping clean
up our earth.
SoapBerry Shop plans to
break away from Russian
tradition by not selling pro-
ducts from behind glass
counters, but out in the
open where customers will
have the opportunity to
touch, feel and sample the
products before they pur-
chase them. They also plan
to focus on knowledgable
and friendly customer ser-
vice which will differen-
tiate them from the other
retailers. "We also want to
give something back to the
Russian economy,' says
Ms. Rajewski, "as a
Western retailer,
SoapBerry Shop is making
a point to use Russian sup-
pliers for such items as
bags, T-shirts and con-
struction supplies."

founded in 1981 by Natasha
Rajewski. Noticing how
polluted the lake was at her
family cottage, she decided
to take action. Working
with a cosmetic chemist,
she developed 12 bio-
degradable products. Now,
in 1993, with 40 stores
across Canada and the
U.S.A. she looks forward to
spreading the SoapBerry

Committee
To Develop
Tourism
Culture, Tourism and
Recreation Minister Anne
Swarbrick has brought
together industry,
business, labour and
government partners to
develop a broad tourism
sector strategy for Ontario.
The strategy will focus on
building strategic alliances
of stakeholders in Ontario's
$16.9 billion talism in-
dustry in recognition of the
crucial role tourism will
play in Ontario's economic
restructuring
To that end, Minister
Swarbrick has announced
the creation of an advisory
committee to make recom-
mendations for a strategic
plan of action.
'Tbe situation is urgent.
Ontario is losing its share
of the world tourism
market," Minister Swar-
brick told tourism industry
stakeholders at a news con-
ference at the Metro Toron-
to Convention Centre. "Our
government is serious
about working with labour
and industry to rebuild the
economy and put Outarians
back to work. We have all
seen radical changes in the
economy over the past few
years. This committee will
drive the strategy and help
restructure our tourism in-
dustry-"
n-
dustry „
Chairing the Minister's
Advisory Committee will
be Michael Beckley. Presi-
dent of Commonwealth
Hospitality.
"My vision of the
strategy will increase On-
tario's market share, while
reducing or slowing the
growth of the province's
travel deficit," Mr.
Beckley told stakeholders
at the media conference.

that would mean. What if
Ontario did not lose seven
per cent of both U.S. and
overseas absolute markets,
as it has over the last three
years? Instead, imagine
that it gained 10 per cent in
those markets. That gain

Waterfront Festival And
Folklorama At Belleville
Families from all over
the area will be heading for
Belleville in July for the
tenth edition of one of On-
tario's leading summer
events: the Belleville
Waterfront Festival and
Folklorama.
Some of the great events
that have proven popular in
the past will be re-created.
The grand opening parade
on July 9 will have exciting
and ingenious floats and
wending their way down
through the city to the ac-
companiment of marching
bands and troubadours.
Fireworks will paint the
sky over the Bay of Quinte,
serving as the starting
signal for festivities along
the city's beautiful water-
front.
Old favourites will in-
clude the Children's
Village at West Zwick's
Island, with carnival,
magic and music for the
younger set. Other visitors
will enjoy the Ontario
Drum Corps competitor,
with the best from all over
the Province performing
on July 10.
Some new events this
year have been added to
broaden the fun for the
whole family. For the first
time, the all Canadian per-
sonal watercraft
("Seadoo") championships

than 350 entrants are ex -
petted for the event Satur-

more tranquil aquatic
events, the International
Sailpast will take place off

In association with the
Quinte Arts Council and

offers a "Casino" where
visitors can pit their skills
against "the house" in

tune and other games of
chance. Proceeds will go to

cultural life of the district.
True to its origins, the
Festival offers a rich array
of ethnic foods and enter-
tainemnt as well. Visitors

well as representatives of
the Greek, Polish, Dutch

great prizes as %ell. You
can buy one at many local
stores, T -D Bank branches
or the Chamber of Com-
merce in Belleville and
Trenton. It's a weekend of
fun and sun and adventure.
so mark the dates on your
calendar now.
Experience A 19th. Century
Picnic At Black Creek
ev Julie lees
Ahh, summer.
The sun is bright, the air
is warm and the children
are home for two %fide
months. Sounds like the
perfect time to ... create a
picnic!
Once also called "grass
parties" and "milk
parties", "picnics or
..pick -nicks" as was writ-
ten in the 18006, did not
become popular until the
early 19th century.
Some say picnics
originated from post -hunt
banquets of the aristocracy
but others believe picnics
came out of a meed to cook
over open fires or to eat
while travelling. Although
the origin of the word is
doubtful, one definition of a
picnic being a cooperative
meal dates back to the time
of the Greeks.
Maybe those living in the
1800's just decided to enjoy
the outdoors, the warmth of
the sun after a long, cold
winter and the chance to
socialize.
..They commonly select
some pretty island in the
bay, or shady retired spot
on the main land, for the
general rendezvous,"
wrote Susanna Moodie in
"life in the Clearings ver-
sus the Bush" (1853),
"where they light a fire,
boil their kettles, and cook
the vegetables to eat with
their cold prog
( provisions ), which usually
consists of hams, fowls,
meat pies, cold joints of
meat, and an abundance of
tarts and cakes, while the
luxury of ice is conveyed in
a blanket at the bottom of
one of the boats."
Early Canadians met
family and friends at lakes,
rivers and in the coun-
tryside for picnics. The En-
cyclopedia of Business and
Social Forms, 1852, says
the proper etiquette for pic-
nics is to "select a conve-
nient and attractive place
for the entertainment. If
possible, let it be near a
spring or running stream.
Provide an abundance of
refreshments - both
eatables and drinks. Pro-
vide transportation for
your guests to the ap-
pointed place. " And always
remember "the whole af-
fair should be as free from
restraint as is consistent
with good breeding...
As well as formal pic-
nics, many Canadians par-
took in casual ones. They
were usually potluck, each
guest bringing more than
enough food to share.
Canadian settlers used
any reason to have a pic-
nic: celebrate a birthday,
break the routine of every-
day life, collect berries for
winter preserves or just
revel in the festive and
romantic feelings that pic-
nics evoke.
Larrett Smith, a Toronto
law student and eligible
bachelor, recalled a picnic
on the Toronto waterfront
in 1841: "after McCormick
and I got the ale and the
boats ready we waited until
at last the ladies came
down and we started in two
boats. Once ashore we
picked crab-apples and ate

By the last quarter of the
19th century. companies
and politicians realized
how much Canadians loved
picnics and began hosting
them. Companies used
them as a form of apprecia-
tion and politicians found
them a viable arena to per-
suade voters to their side.
Above all, the most
popular reason for a picnic
was to get together with
family and friends. As with
any social event, it was a
great "faux -pas" to bring
the wrong people together
or to have too many of one
sex in attendance.
It was the women's job to
handle invitations and
prepare and organize an
enormous amount of food.
For a formal picnic, hand-
written invitations were
sent about 10 days in ad-
vance.
For an all day affair, it
was not unusual to cook up
a joint of roast beef, two
ribs and two shoulders of
lamb, four fowls, two
ducks• one ham, one
tongue, two veal and ham
pies, two pigeon pies and
six lobsters. To complete
the meal the hostess
brought salads, fruits,
biscuits, cheesecakes, tur-
novers, puddings and pies.
There were also drinks pro-
vided such as lemonade
and apple cider.
Everyone helped carry
the heavy picnic baskets.
Those of the 19th century
were massive by today's
terms.
Isabella Beeton's Forget -
Me -Not list says it all: "a
stick of horseradish, a bot-
tle of mint sauce well cork-
ed, a bottle of salad ch -
ing, a bottle of vinegar.
made mustard, pepper,
salt, good oil, and pounded
sugar. If it can be manag-
ed, take a little ice. It is
scarcely necessary to say
that plates, tumblers, wine
glasses. knives, forks. and
spoons, must not be forgot-
ten: as also teacups and
saucers, three or four
teapots, some lump sugar,
and milk, if this last named
article cannot be obtained
in the nteighbourbood. Take
three corkscrews." Mrs.
Beetons Book of Household
Management ; 18611 also
talks about the require-
ment of drinks.
"Beverages - three dozen
quart bottles of ale, packed
in hampers: gingerbeer,
soda -water, and lemonade,
of each two dozen bottles:
six bottles of shetrv, six
bottles of claret, cham-
pagne a discretion, and any
other light wine that may-
be preferred and two bot-
tles of brandy. Water can
usually be obtained: so it is
useless to take it."
Today of cause, it would
not be necessary to bring
that much food because it
is not as usual to host pc-
nics for over 40 people.
Therewas more than just
food at picnics though and
the men often contributed
by organizing the transpor-
tation, helping the women
set up at the picnic and by
providing the entertain-
ment.
Since many early Cana-
dians spent all day at a pic-
nic there were activities
and sports organized like
croquet, baseball, archery,
swimming and fishing.
Sometimes the women
would collect wild fruit and
flowers while young
children might spend their
time dancing, singing and
playing rhyming games.
To really experience an
early Canadian picnic
forget fast food. It's impor-
tant to slow down. A great
way to spend a summer
day is to experience the
taste. smell and feel of the
I W)s on the grounds of
Black Creek Pioneer
Village.
.and in case that pigeon
pie recipe has been
misplaced here's Mrs.
Beeton's recipe from Mrs.
Beeton's Book of
Household Management

First Dedicated Natural
Gas Station Opens
North American's first
dedicated self -serve
natural gas refuelling sta-
tion was officially opened.
The station, with its
distinctive green and blue
logo, stands out on the
north east corner of Shep-
pard Ave. and Victoria
Park Ave. and is one of a
growing number of stations
across Ontario serving
natural gas for vehicles
(NGV) customers.
..Natural gas is becom-
ing increasing recognized
as the preferred alter-
native to gasoline and
diesel fuel for motor
vehicles." said John Finch,
Manager. NGV Marketing.
Consumers Gas. "Natural
gas vehicles are proven to
be better for the environ-
ment as well as less expen-
sive to operate. Fleet
operators. for example can
be expected to save 40% in
fuel costs and 50% in
maintenance costs when
operating on natural gas...
Prior to the opening of
this station, all natural gas
dispersing has been done
at oil company stations.
Other natural gas refuell-
ing stations are located in
company fleet yards.
Taking advantage of the
high pressures in the
tmdergraud gas main, the
state of the art three stage
compressor at the site has
the ability to dispense over
2 million litres of NGV per
year. The equipment,
which is packaged in Rex -
dale, for Cansurners Gas by
Sulzer Canada Inc., is easy
to trouble -shoot and repair.
Six above ground lines head
I orn the compressor t0
each of the three NGV
dispensers on the site.
Each line directly feeds
one of six nozzles, enabling
most customers to fill up in
just a few minutes.
"We're pleased by the
commitment demonstrated
by Depass Auto Care Cen-
tre, operator of the site, to
offer natural gas as a fuel
for many of their
customers," Finch said.
..We're confident that the
opening of this station, the
first of its kind in North
America, that many
drivers and fleet operators
will be persuaded that NGV
is definitely the way to go."
