The 2012 3i Summit program will be both outcome-oriented and stimulating:
Inspiration from catalyst leaders: Moe Garahan, Executive Director of Ottawa’s Just Food, Stephen Guilbeault, Founder of Québec’s Equiterre and Tom Heintzman, Co-founder of Bullfrog Power.
Working sessions to develop sustainability initiatives including: a stronger resource fund for environment initiatives; and tapping into pools of leaders and mentors that can support new community greening projects, and eco-business ventures.
Cross-sector networking, and a cultural celebration of the community’s accomplishments, the Sustainability Soirée with David Chernushenko as honorary guest.
