Can we become the world’s most liveable community? The ELC, Sea-to-Sea Greenbelt Society and The Dogwood Initiative invite CRD residents to come November 23 to this informative night to hear about about a historic proposal to designate the CRD as a UN Biosphere Reserve. We will discuss how a Biosphere Reserve could promote urban sustainability, cultural awareness, and protection of vital old-growth forests and greenspaces. There will be the opportunity to network with local non-profit organizations, businesspeople, politicians and sustainability advocates. Refreshments provided by Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub Coffee from 2% Jazz Coffee
