Limited selection of events to attend in June

I've only found a few sustainability events being held in June (and I skipped the farmer's market announcements, since there's one being hosted pretty much every week starting June 1). It's not surprising, people don't necessarily want to spend beautiful evenings indoors and many of us are planning to take some time off during the summer. I'll revisit my regular sources next week to see if I come across a few more.

I haven't had a chance to write my review of the launch event for Net Impact Vancouver yet. I'll do this over the next few days. It was an intimate event, with a lot of promising ideas being exchanged. I look forward to meeting with the group again in July.

May is right around the corner

What happened to April? Am I the only one thinking this month went by too quickly?

There are once again some exciting events to look forward to this month. I've already signed up for the BCTIA event on May 7 about the opportunities of climate change (I'm guessing this is going to be about green tech).

From May 8 to 11, there's an interesting film festival hosted at The Ridge.
Projecting Change is showcasing films about sustainability. Have a look at the lineup, it's worth getting the festival pass if you are around that weekend.

I am going to try attending
Green Drinks this month. I've been trying to go for the past few months but was either in class that night, or had other commitments. Fingers crossed.

April events are up

Already looks like a busy month, doesn't it? I didn't post anything for Earth Day (April 26), because I am sure there will be many events hosted around town for this, similar to Earth Hour last night.

I'm very tempted to buy a ticket for the keynote presentation by Paul Hawken at Living Future (April 16). I've read a few of his books, but wonder how he is as a speaker? Has anyone heard him give a presentation before? Would you recommend attending?

There's also an event organized by SFU on April 9 called "Business, Energy and the Greening of British Columbia: Developing a Climate
Policy that Works". I could not find a link for this, I heard about it because I am a current student. If you are interested in finding out about the event, drop me a line.


Have you heard of any other events of interest in April? I'd love to hear about them.
