The
two join a broad roster of speakers attending Great Lakes United's 25th AGM
and Conference, Reflecting
Forward.
The
event brings together environmentalists, academics, labour, citizens, and
First Nations and Tribes from across the basin to work together to address
the threats facing the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence
River.
We
will celebrate the accomplishments of Great Lakes United on Friday night
with Great
People for the Great Lakes. This reception gala will
feature a talk by Margaret Atwood.
On
Saturday we will explore the challenges facing the basin in more detail
through a diverse selection of workshops. Denis Hayes will give the keynote
address discussing how renewable energy sources can counter the effects of
climate change.
On
Sunday morning John Jackson will lead a plenary discussion on how citizen
action can revitalize the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, which is
currently under review.
The
event will be a chance to celebrate the successes of the past and work
toward an agenda for the future. We look forward to seeing you there!
