> The world is changing.  People are looking forward to emerging from this pandemic in new courageous ways that recognize we cannot return to “normal”.  In fact we don’t want to return to normal.  Investments in infrastructure, business, jobs, reconciliation, social justice, addressing inequality and lifting people out of poverty are part of our conversations on the street and in politics.
> So what does our future look like in rural Waterloo Region?  50by30WR and Nith Valley EcoBoosters are collaborating in response to Green PAC’s challenge to hold a townhall.   What is our vision?  What are you and I doing about it?  What do we need locally from our elected officials at all levels of government to make a successful transition out of pandemic.  
> Tell us your story about how you are creating jobs through green innovation.
> Waterloo Region is a community of barn raisers - rising to the challenge together, caring for our people, striving for justice and equity and a leader capable of sustainable development and green innovation.
> Attend and Build Rural Waterloo Region <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/environmental-townhall-rural-economic-growth-through-green-innovation-tickets-153052922411>
> Bring your bold ideas for climate action and a just transition for a livable future.  Be prepared to ask our government representatives for what rural Waterloo Region needs. 
> Please share this invitation with your networks. 
> Courage calls on courage everywhere.
> Looking forward to hearing from you.  
> Best wishes, 
> Barbara and Julie
