PROTECT THE POLLINATORS

 

Our pollinators are in trouble! To draw attention to their plight, the
Sierra Club of Canada is doing a cross-Canada tour. 

 

How can we, as concerned citizens and mostly city-dwellers, work together
with beekeepers and farmers to help protect the vital and free service
provided by bees and other pollinators?

 

Join us for a free, public meeting to learn about pollinator health,
pesticide use and environmental protection with speakers:

 

.        John Bennett - Sierra Club's National Program Director, who will
discuss pollinators and pesticides;

.        Paul McKay - author of The Kepler Code, a fictional novel about a
world where pollinators go extinct and agriculture collapses; and

.        Dr. Laurence Packer - York University professor and native bee
specialist.

 

Panel discussion will follow and will include reps from the local farming
community.

 

Displays and sale of bee and pollinator-related books and items.
