APGO
APGO is looking at setting up a partnership with GoodLife Fitness that will provide great savings on membership for APGO members and their families. The membership includes access to all GoodLife Fitness clubs across Canada. We need to determine whether there is sufficient interest from our members first before we can proceed with the program. Please complete the following survey no later than Oct. 8th 2018 if you are interested in a possible membership, as this will determine if we should move forward with the program.

There is roughly 20 times more graphite than there is lithium in a lithium-ion battery — a misnomer if ever there was one.
Graphite is the anode material in lithium-ion batteries, the same ones that power our smartphones, laptops, vacuums and power tools.
From 2006 to 2016, the lithium-ion battery market grew 22 per cent annually, and today 35 per cent of all graphite finds its way into energy storage. Most of the rest is used in furnaces for steelmaking.

An engineering firm has recommended the township spend $4.5 million to upgrade and extend the sanitary sewer network that serves Colborne's industrial park.
The work is necessary because the system is at or near capacity, which increases the risk of it failing at some point, Robert Jackson, an engineer with D.M. Wills Associates Ltd., told council in a presentation of the draft municipal environmental assessment report he has prepared.

Rob McEwen is so confident in the quality of his namesake company and its deposits, he's put $160 million of his own capital into their development, and is taking a salary of just $1 per year, without a bonus or options.
"So why such a big commitment?" he asked during a recent mid-year webcast report to investors. "I'm a big believer in our future, the potential of our properties, the skill of our team, and the power of mining to make a meaningful contribution to society at large."

The amount of carbon dioxide released from thawing permafrost might be greater than previously thought because of a process called mineral weathering, according to a new study by University of Alberta ecologists.
Mineral weathering occurs when minerals previously locked up in permafrost are exposed and broken down into their chemical components by sulfuric or carbonic acid that can exist naturally in water.

Public resistance to a sewage pumping station proposed for land near Orillia's waterfront drove a marathon council discussion that ended without a decision.
Members again agreed to postpone the matter that has been the focus of concerted opposition by residents who object to locating the station on a municipal property directly east of Cedar Island Road.
"There needs to come a time where this issue is dealt with," said Mayor Steve Clarke, adding significant effort has been invested in the issue by staff, councillors and constituents alike.

As residents of a small Nova Scotia town recently gathered for a public information session about what created a large and active sinkhole near a busy Tim Hortons, a geologist suggested the high-tech tools needed to solve the mystery could soon be on their way.
Amy Tizzard, a regional geologist with the provincial Department of Energy and Mines, said the muddy sinkhole remains almost as big as two basketball courts — but it hasn't grown much in the last week.
