> Greetings folks,
>
> This is just a quick reminder that festival weekend is coming up! We  
> think this is going to be the best festival ever, with participation  
> and/or sponsorship from over 30 local organizations and businesses,  
> and partner events like the GEL Eco-Market and the city's H2O Go  
> Water Festival! It all starts Friday night at Alexander Hall with  
> our keynote talks by two of the foremost leaders of the global  
> movement toward sustainability and resilience, Helena Norberg-Hodge  
> and Richard Heinberg.
>
> Author of ten books, including ‘The Party’s Over’, ‘Peak  
> Everything’, and ‘The End of Growth’, Richard Heinberg is widely  
> regarded as one of the world’s most effective communicators of the  
> urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels. With a wry,  
> unflinching approach based on facts and realism, Richard exposes the  
> tenuousness of our current way of life and offers a vision for a  
> truly sustainable future.
>
> Author and filmmaker Helena Norberg-Hodge is a pioneer of the ‘new  
> economy’ movement—work which earned her the 2012 Goi Peace Prize.  
> She is a widely respected analyst of the impact of the global  
> economy on communities, local economies, and personal identity, and  
> is a leading proponent of ‘localization’, or decentralization, as a  
> means of countering those impacts. The is also director and co- 
> producer of the award-winning documentary The Economics of  
> Happiness. Ms. Norberg-Hodge's address will be via pre-recorded  
> video, with a follow-up interactive Q & A via Skype to her home in  
> Australia.
>
> Saturday will feature a whole day of exciting events for the whole  
> family, including: a Children’s Area and Children's Parade, Re- 
> skilling Fair, Community Connections Fair, Stuff Swap, Sustainable  
> Building Panel, Resilience Healthcare Symposium, Organic Stone Soup,  
> GEL Eco-Market (Old Quebec St. Shoppes), H2O GO Festival (Market  
> Square), Group Conversations, Meditation workshop, and more! Events  
> start at 9 am.
>
> And it finishes up with our fifth annual Earth Hour Pot Luck Dinner!
>
> 6:00 pm Earth Hour candlelight Pot-Luck Dinner (bring a favourite  
> dish and a candle in a safe container.)
> 7:00 pm Poetry Slam
> 9:00 pm Jenikz and her band in concert!
>
