Organizing for Community Environmental Action: An In-Depth Training
Workshop
October 25-27, Fri. 7pm - Sun 1 pm

Tatamagouche Centre is offering a unique training event for concerned
community members and
environmental activists featuring Elizabeth May president of the Sierra
Club

Are you concerned about your community's environment?  Is the quality of
air, water or soil being
degraded?  Are pesticides, industrial chemicals,  sewage and other
pollutants affecting the health of
community members?  Then you are not alone!

Hear the stories of active citizens from Sydney Tar Ponds,  N.S. and
those challenging pollution from
the factory hog farm in Ste. Marie de Kent, N.B.  Meet other concerned
community  members from
throughout the Maritimes.  Learn to take action with tools for assessing
environmental problems from
Lia Daborn, formerly Executive Director of the Conservation Council of
New Brunswick.

This event is for concerned community members, those already active, and
those who would like to
take action, as well as for anyone supporting or training local
community activists/concerned citizens
in environmental health issues.  We will support individuals in
obtaining funding for follow-up work in
their local communities

Facilitators:  Janice Harvey, is a freelance writer, and session member
with the Oak Bay pastoral
charge in New Brunswick.  Kathryn Anderson is diaconal minister, human
rights activist and
educator who is active in Tatamagouche Centre's partnership with
Guatemala.

Cost $245.00 (BURSARIES AVAILABLE) includes registration, tuition,
meals and accomodation.
