> > 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.
