Greetings from Transition London Ontario

Transition London Ontario invites your participation on March 3, 2012 as we:

• share ideas and plan together as we answer the question “What do you want to see happening over the next year?”
• and hold our Annual General Meeting.

We will be gathering at the Landon Public Library, 167 Wortley Road, London.

Prior to the AGM,

• 12:00 noon to 12:45 – conversation and snacks

• 12:45 – 2:40 – presentations about what Transition London Ontario has been doing during the last year, information about the interactive “Ning” website, and to bring forward your interests and actions: “What do you want to see happening over the next year?”

The AGM itself – the formal part of the meeting – will take place from 2:40 – 4:00 p.m.  (an agenda will be sent closer to the meeting date).

Transition London Ontario is part of the Transition Network, which supports community-led responses to climate change, shrinking supplies of cheap energy and economic upheaval … building resilience and happiness along the way.

If you have any questions or comments, please drop us a line at email transitionlondon@gmail.com or through our interactive website http://transitionlondon.ning.com/

WHEN - March 29th, 7 :00 pm – 8:30 pm

WHERE – Wolf Performance Hall, 251 Dundas St., London ON

TREA and London Public Library present Jack Gibbons, Chair of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance and Chris Winter, Executive Director of the Conservation Council for Ontario will discuss ‘Finding an Energy Efficiency Strategy for  Ontario’. As a result of over 100 years of low-cost energy, Ontario’s energy consumption per person is still amongst the highest in the world.

This means we are sitting on top of a huge untapped energy efficiency gold mine that can and should be fully developed to meet all our energy needs more effectively. Join us to hear about key actions needed for a sustainable energy future for Ontario.

Prof. Sundar Narayan, P Eng, PhD from Lambton College’s Alternative Energy Engineering Technology program will speak on solid fuels and energy from waste biomass.

This seminar will be an introduction to wood pellet production economics and research findings regarding the use of non-woody biomass waste use.
