The 34 studio apartments, two one-bedroom units, and two three-bedroom units are expected to be available in late 1985. Potential ten- ants may pre-register with Avalon by telephoning 230- 4799. Both Mulhall and Kahn are confident that Avalon Mews will fulfill both resident- ial and commercial require- ments of the community by converting "an underutilized package into a total entity," and will add an exciting new dimension to life in the Glebe.

The first Girl Guide company was started in St. Catherines in January, 1910, just one year after it was founded in Britain by Lord Baden-Powell. Today there are Girl Guides all across Canada and in most parts of the world, as well as our one hundred plus girls in the Glebe. Recent local events in- clude an International Night on January 30, when all the girls who went on overseas guiding trips last year gave us a taste of their exper- iences.

Like its two pre- decessors which addressed energy conservation in the residential sector and the industrial/commercial/instit- utional sector, TRANSACT's goal was to frame an Energy Action Plan for the transpor- tation sector based on sugg- estions received from the general public. Nearly 2000 suggestions were received during the TRANSACT process and these were debated and discussed in two workshops in the fall of 1984. Consensus on 20 recommendations relating to six major areas of public comment - traffic flow, bi- cycling, walking, car and van pools, public transit and land-use planning - was eventually reached.
