For example, in last Friday's Toronto Globe and Mail one headline in the first sec- tion read, "4 more Ontario paper firms charged over pollution. Total now stands at 6.” These firms were charged by the Ontario Water Resources Commission with polluting watercourses in Ontario. Last year, the Ontar- io Department of Energy and Resources Man- agement passed legislation requiring that all boats be equipped with sewage holding tanks. At the present time, the Departincnt of Energy and Resources Management and the Ontario Department of Health are conducting a cot- tage~byâ€"cottage inspection to locate faulty sewâ€" age systems. Through thc work of the conser- vation authorities and the Ontario Water Reâ€" sources Commission some rivers have been freed of pollution. The water in the Grand River, once described as a natural sewer, is now purified. For the first time in many years, it is possible to find fish living in this river. The Ontario government has implemented several programs in a move toward-curbing pollution, but it will take more than this to Win the battle. It is imperative that each of us realâ€" ize that pollution is our concern. 41
