Events and Speakers- Diana Gibson of the Parkland Institute to speak about peak oil in Ponoka

It's nice to see with the end of summer closing in some things I've been trying to marshal for the last 3 to 4 months are finally showing some shape.

First thing’s first. This Friday I will be traveling down to Edmonton to start my volunteer work with City Farm Edmonton. Given my navigating skills in large cities I will most likely be late, but other than that, along with the normal butterflies one gets before starting a new project, I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do to help out. For anyone in the Edmonton area interested in this kind of stuff visit www.city-farm.org. I'll post how everything goes on the weekend.

Secondly, last week I received confirmation that this October 11th to the 13th I will be a delegate at the Alberta Youth Environmental Summit in Kananaskis (YES). Over 200 delegates will gather from different municipalities around the province to discuss different environmental concerns facing this province and the different solutions needed to tackle them. Obviously myself, and hopefully other delegates, will take this opportunity to raise the issue of peak oil.

Lastly, and most importantly, I'm elated to say I've been able to confirm Diana Gibson (of the Parkland Institute) as the speaker for the "The End of Suburbia" screening that will be occurring sometime this October in Ponoka. There is no set date yet, but when Mrs. Gibson gets back to me in a week or so I'll post all of the needed info here.

That's about it for now

Transitions?

Is it strange to feel you have done far too little in the face of far too much at this age? I think I will look back on this time in my life and see that either my youth defined the ambition in my heart and head or vice versa.

I'm hoping for the latter seeing as I don't feel old enough right now.

Finally

Thank sweet Mother of God, she's going back to Winnipeg.
