Special Luncheon Guest Speaker
The Honourable Donna Cansfield
Minister of Natural Resources
We have reached a crossroads and are presented with an
opportunity for change. Energy 2100: Making the Lakes Great opens
the dialogue on our energy future as we search for energy options that sustain
our Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes, which contain 20% of the world’s surface freshwater and
are home to a broad variety of natural habitats, are under serious threat. Huge
swaths of wetlands have been lost, thousands of miles of rivers are impaired,
and miles of shoreline are degraded. Invasive species ply the waters, and
climate change places human and ecosystem health in peril.
Under the leadership of McMaster University’s Dofasco Centre for
Engineering and Public Policy, Energy 2100: Making the Lakes Great marks
the first time experts from Canada, the United States and China will gather to
confront an emerging public policy challenge. The challenge is to develop
energy policy that sustains the Great Lakes ecosystem and the health of people
living within the Great Lakes basin. Topics include:
• Global
perspectives on energy security, competitiveness and
renewable energy sources
• The impacts of mercury emissions on Great Lakes communities
• Impact of climate change on Great Lakes water quality and quantity
Thanks for making
the Lakes Great!
