[All] Ontario Is Not For Sale Panels & Workshops - Sat, June 8th 9:30am to 6:00pm Wilfrid Laurier University

[Kevin Thomason]

Please join leading environmental and community groups from across Ontario next Saturday, June 8th from 9:30am to 6:00pm right here in Waterloo as leaders, activists, and concerned citizens join together to strategize and discuss how to collaborate and build a movement that can respond effectively to the ongoing devastating actions of our provincial government.

Panelists and participants will include the former Environmental Commissioner of Ontario Dianne Saxe, Oakville Mayor Rob Burton, CELA Executive Director Theresa McClenaghan, Environmental Defence Executive Director Tim Gray and many others from organizations such as Ontario Nature, the David Suzuki Foundation, Earthroots, NDACR, Food and Water First, the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition, GravelWatch, the Wellington Water Watchers, Lake Simcoe Watch, the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance, and the Ontario Clean Air Alliance.

Breakfast, lunch and end of day drinks/refreshments are included and the day will include panel discussions, strategic planning sessions, regional breakout sessions, and lots of opportunity for networking and sharing ideas.

With three long years yet in the Doug Ford government's term, it is essential that we find better ways to collaborate, share the workload, and effectively ensure a strong voice for nature and climate change mitigation in Ontario.  Please join us and encourage others from throughout our community to attend too.

You can register at the following link:

Additional information and an agenda is attached below.  Please let me know any questions or ideas.

Cheers,
Kevin.



P.S. GREN is willing to cover half of the $40 registration fee for anyone who may find cost an issue.  Our Treasurer Greg Michalenko can provide details and reimbursement.
