CAMA - Ebrief

CAMA extends sincere condolences to the family of Lawrence “Al” Strang. Al, 74, of Riverview, and formerly of Moncton, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, April 14, 2016. Born in Humphrey’s, NB, he was the son of the late William and Edna (Mackay) Strang. He is survived by his son, Stephen and his grandchildren, Samuel and Quinn. Al was predeceased by both parents and his brother, Paul. Al graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from St. Mary’s University in Halifax where he proudly played football for the Huskies. He then went on to Carleton University in Ottawa to complete his Masters in Social Work. He began his career with Community and Social Services in Ottawa in 1971, followed by a move to Toronto in 1973 where he held several senior positions within Community Services. In 1989 to 2009, he moved to Moncton where he became City Manager.

He was President of the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators from 1999 - 2000, as well as being a Board member of The Canadian Council on Public/Private Partnerships, among others.

Thousands, if not millions, of citizens rely on local and national governments to keep them safe. Protecting the public from crime, safeguarding buildings from vandalism, or simply ensuring a city is running smoothly requires multiple public sector agencies to collaborate, consult with citizens and secure buy-in from private enterprises.

The Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) has partnered with Scout Environmental (formerly Summerhill Impact) to offer granting initiative, Grants in Gear, for a third year. The nation-wide program will provide funding worth up to $100,000 to Canadian environmental non-profit and entrepreneurial groups and municipal/regional governmental bodies. To date, Grants in Gear has funded eight organizations across Canada working to achieve measurable impact for the environment through their winning ideas. ARC is excited to extend this opportunity to four more organizations whose project ideas seek tangible results in emissions reduction or pollution prevention in the transportation sector or automotive recycling or reuse excellence. ARC welcomes eligible organizations of all sizes who seek to make a positive environmental impact on the automotive industry. This year, ARC will disburse up to four grants worth a maximum of $25,000 each with one grant being offered as an optional legacy grant. This will allow previous winners to apply for additional funding to increase the capacity of their existing program. Applications will be accepted from March 25 to May 6, 2016.
