industry Update ES&E links up with CETECH '92 Industrial Show & Conference The first Canadian Environmental
Technology Exhibition (CETECH '92) will be held October 20-22,1992 at the Toronto International Centre.
CETECH '92 will be Canada's only large scale exhibition to focus speci fically on industrial solutions and manufacturing applications for the environmental marketplace. Government legislations and res trictions have forced industry to search for products and services that assist the manufacturing sector in dealing with its environmental pro blems,as well as solutions and alter natives in the handling and disposal of manufacturing waste and pollu tants. Industry analysts estimate that merely meeting existing envi ronmental regulations in Canada could cost $70 billion or more over the next decade.
Held concurrently with CETECH '92 are two well established indus
Vancouver Notebook A hectic week began Monday,June 23, with a breakfast meeting of the Canadian Environmental Industry Association.
Prior to the actual
meeting, a federal government speaker outlined a $100 million plan to clean up the Eraser River. Even by Ottawa's lavish standards, $100 million is a huge sum,yetironically, it did not contain any funding for the actual clean up. In view of the fact that the audience comprised pollution abatementindustry people, the funding omission was ironic. The meeting was told that an Ontario Chapter of CEIA has been formed and a drive to enrol new
members was underway. The clouds disappeared to reveal Vancouver's matchless panorama of snow capped mountains, rivers
and inlets. After a sightseeing trip to Simon Eraser University, ES&E Representative Ron Ganton and I were invited to have dinner with the executive of the BC Water & Waste
held its annual meeting at the Van couver Trade & Convention Centre.
Over 5,500 delegates had almost per fect weather for most of the meeting and Vancouver lived up to their sce nic expectations. The majestic Teflon sails of the Convention Centre have become a
focal pointfor the city. They remind me of the Sydney Opera house in
Australia, especially when a large cruise ship is moored alongside the Centre.
The Exhibition filled the huge centre and delegate traffic was high, delighting the exhibitors. During the week, we had lunch with Stan Mason,followed by a tour of Terminal City Iron Works, a B.C. firm founded by Stan's grandfather. It was great to go through the foun
dry and see environmental equip ment such as hydrants and fittings actually being made,instead of stu died or talked about.
Later we met with the sponsors of AQUA '92, an ambitious water-
Association. We shared a great meal and enjoyed the fellowship. After a '91 conference report was presented, the meeting heard plans for the '92 BCW&W Conference in Whistler, recently designated by a sports wri
focussed conference and also had a meeting in the Globe '92 offices. Both shows are scheduled in Van couver next year. The '92 AWWA Conference and Exhibition is also

Steve Davey, co-founder of ES&E notes the need to provide a private indus try forum for the manufacturing and industrial marketplace to learn about the ever changing products, applications and solutions in the rapidly growing environmental area of manufacturing. CETECH is produced by ReedMagregor Exhibitions Inc., a mem ber of the Reed Exhibition Compa nies(REC),the world's largest exhi bition organizer.
