CGCP NOW The CGCP offered a two-day Train the Trainers Summer Institute on Global Change and Canadians for Eastern Canadian educators on July 7 and 8 in Fundy National Park, New Brunswick. At the institute, thirty teachers from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick learned about global change issues using the CGCP's Global Change and Canadians book and Teacher's Guide, as well as through talks by the scientists of the region, and a guided walk with Randall Miller of the New Brunswick Museum. The institute was jointly organized by the CGCP, the New Brunswick Department of Education, and the New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland Global Education Projects. The institute was part of the CGCP's Environmental Education Project, and was financially supported by the Richard Ivey Foundation. Strategic planning was the main focus of the most recent CGCP Board meeting, held June 12 and 13 in Calgary, Alberta, in conjunction with the Learned Societies' annual conference. Proceedings of the symposium, The Future of the Global Environment: The Role of Canadian and Japanese Science and Technology are now available from the CGCP Secretariat (see address, page 2) free of charge. The symposium was held on October 19, 1993, and brought senior Japanese and Canadian scientists together to discuss global change in the context of Japanese and Canadian science and technology. The symposium was co-sponsored by the Honda Foundation, the Canadian Global Change Program, the Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science and Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada. Please note that in Volume 4, No. 4 of DELTA, the latter two sponsors were not identified as such. Our apologies for this omission. Copies of the document, Sustainable Development and Canadian Cities: Current Initiatives are also available now from the CGCP Secretariat for CAN$15.00. This document contains a substantial amount of information--300 listings in all--about what is being done in communities across Canada to bring them closer to a goal of sustainable development. The three hundred listings include a description of each project, a contact name, address and phone number. The CGCP has been represented recently at a number of conferences, symposiums and key meetings, including the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme's Meeting of National Committees in Bonn, Germany last March; in April, the Mid-Study Workshop of the Mackenzie Basin Impact Study in Yellowknife where Hugh Morris, Chair of the CGCP Board of Directors, chaired a session, and the How Deep Will the Burning Go? Conference on ozone depletion, held in Victoria, B.C. In May, the CGCP was heavily involved in two events, the Data for the Climate System Workshop held in Quebec City and the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society's Global Change Forum held in Ottawa (see below for details). The program set up a display at the highly successful Ecosystem Health and Medicine Conference, also held in Ottawa, in June; Claude Lefrançois, CGCP Program Coordinator, attended a symposium in Chicoutimi the same month called Modèles pour l'application du developpement durable and Jeffrey Watson, CGCP Director attended the Canadian Climate Program Board meeting. The program also held several workshops for teachers on Global Change and Canadians, and attended other meetings and workshops too numerous to mention within these space constraints.
