[All] 100 Debates for environment

Wed Aug 25 11:22:41 EDT 2021

Hi Tony,

Great to hear from you.  Indeed, the 100 Debates for the Environment can be excellent forums for the essential discussions we need to ensure are part of this federal election.  The Susan Koswan has been working with a number of area eNGOs on behalf of GREN to see what can be organized in the short timeframe ahead.  It appears that virtual debates for Cambridge, Kitchener-Centre and Kitchener-Conestoga may have the support, resources and Zoom licensing to happen.  Things are evolving quickly and anyone who has resources is encouraged to reach out to Susan K. or other area eNGO leaders to see what can be accomplished.

Regardless of what happens with the debates on Sept 8th and 9th, GREN Treasurer Greg Michalenko points out the importance of getting involved and working directly with the candidates and campaigns with the needed environmental solutions as well.

Keep in touch and keep up the great work in the community.

Cheers,
Kevin.

I was speaking with one of their team today and they indicated there is not yet a debate organized for Kitchener-Centre or Kitchener South Hespeler. If you know anyone who would be interested in organizing a debate please share the information below with them.
