March 12 video conference: Local Energy, Environment and Community Action

The conference will focus on what climate change means to Albertans and what Albertans are doing to combat it.

During this one-day video conference, participants from 28 rural Alberta venues will share their experiences and hear from four keynote speakers: Dave Sauchyn, University of Regina Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative, Rick Kool, Royal Roads University School of Environment and Sustainability, Gary Holden, CEO Enmax Corporation, and Michael Walters, Greater Edmonton Alliance.

The panelists and moderators will be drawn from seven Albertan universities and colleges and from more than a dozen rural communities.  At lunchtime, there will be refreshments and excerpts from the video 'In Transition: From oil dependence to local resilience' developed by TransitionTown.org in the UK.  There will also be a simultaneous webcast for those who cannot attend one of the videoconference venues. The full agenda and a list of venues is at www.albertaacts.ca/LocalEnergyVC
