Creating a Climate for Change Series
Part 3 – GREEN CHRISTMAS
Just sixty-four more shopping days ’til Christmas! Join us for the last in our series, “Creating the Climate for Change”, a panel presentation on ways to celebrate an anti-shopping, sustainable Christmas.
Our guest panel includes Andrew Coppolino food columnist for “The Morning Edition” on CBC Radio One KW, and writer in residence at the Stratford Chefs School; Pamela Coneybeare of La Osa; and Sarah Sylvester owner of the Little Shed Flower Company.
Join us Wednesday November 16, at 6:30 in person at the Stratford Public Library auditorium and online via Zoom. And get inspired for a saner, slower, greener season.
This event is free to attend (either in person or via Zoom) but you must pre-register. Visit the Stratford Public Library website for information and registration.
