DEAR ORGANIZATION CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT,
The premiere showcase event for the environment in Halton Region has a new date and a new theme in 2008. The eighth annual Halton Eco Festival will undoubtedly be our best ever because we are promoting it as a free, Earth Day environmental fair. For the first time, it will take place during Earth Week when people are the most interested in the environment. We feel it will be well-attended because we have made it a free-to-attend event on Saturday, April 19, 2008.
