[GREN-Exec] next GREN meeting

[Susan Koswan]

Hi GREN exec,

Been giving some thought to a speaker for our next GREN meeting.

First thought was to invite my friend Nicola Thomas, who was 
instrumental at getting the Food Forest at Forest Heights Community 
Centre (where we'll be meeting). Then I thought that would be better for 
an early June meeting when we could actually see it in bloom. Then I 
thought maybe it's good to do it now in case anyone wants to do a food 
forest somewhere else, they'd have time to get some funding and make 
arrangements to plant in the spring. Nicola is available this time or in 
June. She just did a workshop at the Canadian Organic Growers Conference 
in Guelph this weekend.

The other thought was to ask the new editor-in-chief at The Record if he 
could speak for a few minutes about the challenges of local paper 
journalism, but also because he's avidly working on increasing the 
Record's coverage on local environmental and climate crisis issues, it 
might be a good opportunity for all of us to give our 2 - 3 minute 
updates on local issues. I haven't asked him yet, but would ask him if 
he could spend about an hour with us. Let me know ASAP if this is the 
option you'd like so I can ask him.

Thanks,

Susan K
