ENERGY FUTURES AND HEALTH CONFERENCE

Yseterday I received an e-mail advertising an upcoming Conference that is sponsered by three groups. They are the office of Global Health at Univ. of Western Ontario, The Centre for Family Medicine and finally Community Energy Renewable Waterloo.

This is a two part Conference with Part One being at The Centre for Family Medicine, 25 Joseph St. Kitchener from 1-5 pm. on Wednesday September 12/12. Part Two is that evening at First United Church, 16 William St. W. in Waterloo from 7-9 pm.. Part One requires registration by Sept. 5/12 via www.schulich.uwo.ca/globalhealth . Part Two however is open without preregistering.

The title of Part One (1-5pm.) is "Building a Clean & Healthy Energy Future" and the title of Part Two is "How Ontario Can Lead Canada to a Low-Carbon Economy". As per the e-mail I received: "All are Welcome - Community members, Physicians, Residents, Professionals and Students!"

While I have no prior knowledge of this Conference, from the groups and individuals involved as well as the importance and relevance of the subject matter, I would highly reccommend it to anyone who is able to attend, learn and participate.
