Re: Share Council ~ Opportunities for Youth
Grant - Garbage Recycling

The Environmental Sub-Committee has been informed that students from
Mary Hill Secondary School and George Pearkes School have applied for a Federal
Opportunities for Youth Grant under the aegis of the Shdre Council, to carry out
a recycling programme. It ig understood that the programme will include a venture
into collection of materials for recycling, with a view to testing public reaction
to recycling. The students have assured the Committee that the programme will not
conflict with any other studies presently being contemplated. The students have
asked that Council endorse the programme and write a letter to the Federal Gov-
ernment to add weight to their application.

. The Committee has not studied the complete proposal by the students

and are not able to comment on its specifics at this time. However, the Committee
firmly supports the involvement of the young people in this area of endeavour and

recommends to Comeil that a resolution be passed endorsing, in principle, the

application by these youths.
