<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Hello Folks..
this is an issue for re the K/W region. I am sorry not to have
forwarded it sooner. Josh needs some help and you folks have the
answers he is seeking. <br>
Please copy me if you can pick this up so that I know it has been
looked after.. I really don't know a lot of the specific resources
and needs in your area.. That said, we will be setting up a CoC
chapter again in the fall in K/W. Thanks for your help. Norah

face="Arial">I write to you today as
a member of TransitionKW. Based on
the Transition movement started in
the UK, TransitionKW brings citizens
together to build resilience and
sustainability within our community
in the
face of the oncoming challenges of
climate change and peak oil. One of
our key
projects that I am participating in
is the creation of a Climate Change
Adaptation Toolkit (CCAT) to be used
by citizens and community groups in
the
Region of Waterloo to increase
resilience to climate change and its
anticipated
impacts.<br>
<br>
As the Council of Canadians local
chapter contact , our project team
identified you as
a <b>stakeholder </b>in
the <span style="font-weight:bold;">development
of this toolkit</span>.
For this reason, I ask for your
participation in an upcoming focus
group
session. In this focus group we aim
to gain from their expertise to
learn how
we can improve our capacity for
resilience and identify the gaps in
emergency
preparedness as it relates to the
area of <b>human health</b> for
Waterloo Region.</font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">
<font size="2" face="Arial"><br>
The focus group will be 2 hours long
and will be held on Tuesday July 2
at
2-4PM at a location in downtown
Kitchener.
Dinner will be provided!<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you will
attend, and if so, at which time(s)
you can come.<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Josh Morel<br>
CCAT Project Team Member<br>
<br>
<b>P.S.</b><b><br>

Please also let me know of anyone
else you would recommend to
participation in one of the focus
groups. The five focus groups each
cover one
of the following topics:</b><b><br>
