[Norah Chaloner]

Hello Folks.. this is an issue for re the K/W region. I am sorry not to 
have forwarded it sooner. Josh needs some help and you folks have the 
answers he is seeking.
Please copy me if you can pick this up so that I know it has been looked 
after.. I really don't know a lot of the specific resources and needs in 
your area.. That said, we will be setting up a CoC chapter again in the 
fall in K/W.    Thanks for your help.  Norah

Dear Norah Chaloner:

I write to you today as a member of TransitionKW. Based on the 
Transition movement started in the UK, TransitionKW brings citizens 
together to build resilience and sustainability within our community in 
the face of the oncoming challenges of climate change and peak oil. One 
of our key projects that I am participating in is the creation of a 
Climate Change Adaptation Toolkit (CCAT) to be used by citizens and 
community groups in the Region of Waterloo to increase resilience to 
climate change and its anticipated impacts.

As the Council of Canadians local chapter contact , our project team 
identified you as a *stakeholder *in the development of this toolkit. 
For this reason, I ask for your participation in an upcoming focus group 
session. In this focus group we aim to gain from their expertise to 
learn how we can improve our capacity for resilience and identify the 
gaps in emergency preparedness as it relates to the area of *human 
health* for Waterloo Region.


The focus group will be 2 hours long and will be held on Tuesday July 2 
at 2-4PM at a location in downtown Kitchener. Dinner will be provided!

Please let me know if you will attend, and if so, at which time(s) you 
can come.
Sincerely,
Josh Morel
CCAT Project Team Member

*P.S.**
**Please also let me know of anyone else you would recommend to 
participation in one of the focus groups. The five focus groups each 
cover one of the following topics:**
**·         Water resources (including flooding and supply)**
**·         Human health (including diseases, temperature stress, 
increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events)**
**·         Food and agriculture**
**·         Energy**
**·         Transportation and Infrastructure*
