[All] "Our Great Lakes in Troubled Times: Big Threat, Root Causes, New Strategies" - GREN member speaking on Sept 20 7:30 pm EDT

[John Jackson]

Dear Grand River Environmental Network

Some of you may have heard that for the past year and a half, I have been working with other activists in Canada and the U.S. to develop a new Great Lakes and St. Lawerence River wide organization called the Great Lakes Ecoregion Network (GLEN). [note my tendency to call groups -networks - and the closeness in the acronyms between GREN and GLEN. My mind has gotten confused at times when sending out messages.] One of GLEN's members, Gracia Janes of the Provincial Council of Women, has organized a webinar for this Wednesday evening. Jane Elder of Madison, Wisconsin and myself, John Jackson of Kitchener, will be speaking at that meeting. The focus of our presentation will be on the transformative change that GLEN believes is needed to address the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River problems. So this is a chance to learn about GLEN and the Great Lakes. I know that some of you have summer homes on the shores of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. And all of us living in the Great Lakes basin have major impacts on the Great Lakes - especially Lake Erie.

Attached is a news release on the webinar, and a poster advertising the event. Feel free to distribute these to anyone you think may be interested. 

I hope to see you this Wednesday September 20 at 7:30 pm EDT. To register for the event, please contact 1niagaracouncilofwomen at gmail.com <mailto:1niagaracouncilofwomen at gmail.com>.

I encourage you to check out the GLEN website at https://greatlakesecoregionnetwork.weebly.com/.
