ABOUT THE EDITORS
Lidia Lubka
Lidia Lubka, publisher/editor of EcoLog's occupational health and safety and environment legislation, EcoLog News and EHScompliance.ca newsletter, is a 21-year veteran of legal publishing with a journalism degree.
When Lidia joined Business Information Group (formerly Southam Inc.) more than 20 years ago, the legislation was available only in print (a few binders) and there were two four-page newsletters. Today, the legislation is available on the Web, a CD and still in print (30 binders of updated national legislation). And the newsletters have grown to double the pages, with a weekly EcoLog News online service.
Over the years, Lidia has received multiple awards, including two first-place awards, from the international Washington, D.C.-based Specialized Information Publishers Association (formerly the Newsletter & Electronic Publishers Association) for "editorial excellence, thoroughness and clarity, and usefulness to subscribers."
Lidia has never owned/driven an SUV and still has no air conditioning in her house.
