August 20th - 25th
Waubaushene, ON CA
Sunday August 20th - Friday 25th offers attendees three different tracks
for morning sessions:
1. *Sensible Downshifting:* an emphasis on public policy focus and
the role of government to reduce waste and produce needs locally.
2. *Technology to the Rescue:* the technological "levees" that could
protect many Canadians from hardships imposed by the high cost of
energy and social disruptions.
3. *Building Lifeboats:* the local actions we could take to live low
energy lifestyles, irrespective of government and corporate action.
The event includes internet access, speakers (some by teleconference),
demonstration projects, films, community building interludes as well as
optional field trips to a local windfarm, hemp farm, two intentional
communities, a biodiesel garage and the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre. The
program provides interactive and experiential learning that allows
participants to prepare for their scenario for the future.
The symposium has an integral design to feed body, mind and spirit. For
