Many of us are excited about the upcoming AGM of the Carolinian Canada Coalition at Port Rowan on Friday and Saturday May 27th and 28th. There are several reasons for our enthusiasm. The first is a chance to visit a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in Carolinian Canada and engage in Naturefest - featuring many interesting talks, hikes and outdoor experiences – being held over the weekend. Another reason is our pleasure in being able to report on a very successful year and the growing scope of Carolinian Canada Coalition's work, the rising challenges it faces and the opportunities it offers for you to engage with us in the natural, economic and social future of the region.
Another major reason for our enthusiasm about the AGM is the special session we are offering on land use and wind towers in the Carolinian Canada region. Our focus is primarily on the impacts of wind towers on biodiversity and the environment, but the session will inevitably touch on other implications such as economic opportunities and health. We have a set of very well informed and interesting speakers presenting at our Chair's Lunch and also in a special afternoon session. We believe that your attendance at this session will enrich your understanding of wind towers and related land use issues in Ontario.
On behalf of the Board, the staff and the membership I urge you to attend this important meeting and take the opportunity of benefitting from an important learning experience and the chance to meet like-minded people in a very beautiful part of Ontario.
