Call for Volunteers to Assist with Vehicle Emissions Inspection Clinic


On May 22, 23 and 24 the Ecology Action Center and Environment Canada 
will be running a "no fees, no fines" Vehicle Emissions Clinic in the 
parking lot of Kent Building Supplies in Bayer's Lake Business Park. The 
primary purpose of the clinic is to promote awareness among the public 
about the negative health and environmental effects of vehicle emissions 
and to provide information on how they can, through proper maintenance 
and driving practices, help to reduce these emissions.

Although exhaust emissions tests are handled by Environment Canada 
staff, volunteers are required to carry out other duties, such as 
greeting motorists, measuring gas cap seals and tire pressure and 
passing out literature. We need volunteers sixteen years or older for 
shifts between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Shift lengths and times will be 
arranged with volunteers. All volunteers will receive a T-shirt to keep 
which they wear during the clinic. Refreshments will be provided.

If you are interested in helping, please contact Kate Thompson at (902) 
861-3953 or by email at katethompson@hfx.eastlink.ca
