In a presser that was released on Thursday, July 25, it was announced that BGP Environmental Group Inc. and its BioCleaner technology and products have been accepted to participate in all water quality related projects available under the proprietary RippleModelTM program of De Sousa Costa International Inc. and its partner in Ghana, EarlPark Limited. Ian Leatt is the president of BGP Environmental which he has developed in conjunction with his business partner, Brent Poole.
The RippleModelTM program offers governments the ability to fund “major infrastructure development and capacity building greenfield and upgrade projects’’ that meet the strictest environmental requirements demanded by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, other UN Environmental Agencies.
Robert Pappa Cudjoe, the managing director of EarlPark Limited in Accra, stated, “We are delighted that the Ghana Water Company Limited and the Community Water and Sanitation Agency have embraced BGPs BioCleaner technology and products to bring about lasting change to the multiple water quality challenges faced in Ghana. These challenges have resulted from a growing population, rapid development, industrialization and climate change.’’
Ian Leatt, the President of the BGP added, “We see these multifaceted projects in Ghana, both from a micro and macro perspective, as a significant development not only in Ghana but throughout Africa. The African Continental Free Trade Area, headquartered in Accra and having 55 sovereign nations, has more than 1.3 billion people all yearning for good quality drinking water and wastewater/sewage treatment. That opens the doors to ever expanding markets not only in Canada, but throughout the world.’’
Alberto de Sousa Costa, the President of DeSC, stated, “These projects have been years in the making and it is rewarding to see the benefits that will be derived with the introduction of the BioCleaner technology and products coming to fruition, particularly for much of the population.’’
Congratulations to Ian, who our readers will know as the author or our cooking page and our previous CEO, and to Brent whose name you will recognize from our former column on home renovations!
