Transportation accounts for about two-thirds of greenhouse gases. It is a major budgetary item for householders, businesses and governments, causes a large number and severity of injuries, and yet is vital to our society.
Keynote speaker and BC Transit Manager of Strategic Planning Tania Wegwitz will present a vision of how we can better integrate our sustainable transportation systems with more liveable communities. The afternoon speaker will be UBC Professor Patrick Condon, author of "Seven rules for sustainable communities: Design strategies for the post-carbon world."
Panel members will include Executive Director VIU Students' Union Steve Beasley, city councillor Bill Holdom, First Nations, and regional district representatives. Nanaimo CarShare Co-op, Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition and RDN transit will also be represented. Related organisations and companies will have display tables.
The event is free to the public; Lunch will be provided for $10; preregistration is strongly encouraged (e-mail 2020@esvi.ca).
Let’s work toward making our region more sustainable!
