Deborah Crandall Chronicle Staff It‘s going to be an interesting race this year for those seeking election for the 18 trustee seats on the Waterloo Region Roman Catholic separate school board. Early last week, Waterloo Region Tax Watch members Kalita Stemmler, Mary Achtenburg and Barb Schuett announced they will seek election to the board in November‘s municipal election. All share the same campaign platform â€" fiscal accountability, _ â€" Last Thursday, the race took on a new dimension when a slate of 12 candidates announced intentions to seek election to Accountable Action launches campaign for separate board seats Concerned about moral teaching / Rollerblade.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment has awarded the the board. The 12 candidates also share a platform â€" accountability for moral teachâ€" ing.

"For the largest groundwater using community in Canada, there really isn‘t any detailed and accurate information on our groundwater or any policies to help prevent future problems," says Sanderson. Sanderson says the study will look at not only present sources of contamination but also past land uses to determine if other contaâ€" minants from sources long since gone may have reached the groundwater, "There‘s really nothing in writâ€" ing that tells us what areas are endangered by industry and other pollutants," _ says _ Sanderson, "and that‘s important if we‘re going to avoid situations like Elmira in the future." After the initial inventory is done, Sanderson says the six member team will then locate "danger spots," areas of groundâ€" water reserves that are most susceptible to contamination. "First of all, we‘re not even sure what groundwater reserves there are so that‘s the first step, taking an inventory of where and what there is." Dr. Marie Sanderson, director of the Water Network, says the study team will begin with an inventory of groundwater resourâ€" ces in the region.
