> >     CPAWS presents these evening sessions to assist you in making input to
> > the Ontario government's so-called Lands for Life plans, which will
> > allocate 46 million hectares of Ontario public land to mining logging and
> > other uses by this June.  We believe this is our last chance to achieve
> > any significant new parks or protected areas in Ontario.  Two of the
> > government appointed Round Tables are asking for public input through a
> > workbook which asks a series of multiple choice and short-answer
> > questions.  Filling out the workbooks is easier than it first looks, but
> > many people have asked for assistance.  CPAWS (and not the government) is
> > filling this need.
> > 
> >     WHAT TO DO:
> > 1. Please come to one of the sessions.  We will provide everything you
> > need to input to both the Great Lakes-St.Lawrence and the Boreal East
> > round tables.

> > anytime during the evening.
> > 3. You can get started now.  You can access materials for the Great
> > Lakes-St. Lawrence round table on the web:
