style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">The Waterloo Public Interest Research
Group would like to remind you to attend our adaptation strategy planning
meeting. We will be joined by guest speaker Allan Douglas, Director of the
Ontario Centre for Climate Impacts and Adaptation Ressources (OCCIAR). OCCIAR
provides outreach and capacity building to communities like ours that are just
beginning the process of adaptation. Using an interactive presentation, Mr.
Douglas will discuss how to begin developing an adaptation strategy and what the
Waterloo Region's adaptation strategy can look like in detail. He will share
with us the insight he has gained over the years from working collaboratively
with other Ontario communities. This session is aimed at giving participants
greater insight into the finer considerations that are needed when adapting to
climate change. Those attending are not asked to commit to any project. Time
will be given towards the end of the evening to discuss how to proceed.
</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">Those who are interested in
learning more about adaptation and who are interested in moving forward into
action in the community are encouraged to attend.</SPAN>
