Hi ECOFEMers:
Having attended EECOM conferences before, I can recommend
them. As the message indicates, the venue is spectacular.

Telling Our Stories
The Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication
2001 Annual Conference hosted by:
The Environmental Education Association of the Yukon, and
The Canadian Journal of Environmental Education
At Yukon College, Whitehorse, Yukon July 18-20
Have you ever wanted to journey to Canada's far north? Have you wanted
to experience the long nights of a Yukon summer? Perhaps wildness and
the vast boreal landscapes call you? Or, the rich cultural traditions?
Did you
ever feel an itch in your feet as you listened to Klondike tales by
Robert Service? If so, this might be the summer to pack your rucksack
and head north. And if you've been here before you know the yearning to
return.
This summer we can offer you all this and more. Yes, EECOM's
annual conference will be held in Whitehorse, July 18-20 at Yukon
College. This will include three full days so plan to arrive by the 17th
and don't leave before the 21st. Hosted by the Environmental Education
Association of the Yukon and the Canadian Journal of Environmental
Education, the 2001 meeting promises to be an exciting event with an
international flavour.
Up-to-date information is available on our website at
www.taiga.net/eecom2001. Here you can follow the links to find
registration forms, summaries of presentations, and information for
