WHAT: Toronto Conservation Action Network community fairs
WHEN: March 27 and 28 (tonight and tomorrow night), 7pm-9pm
WHERE: Beach United Church (140 Wineva Avenue) and St. Clement’s Church (59 Briar Hill Avenue)
Going green just got a whole lot easier, thanks to the newly formed Toronto Conservation Action Network — an informal network of groups and businesses that are helping people live greener.
The network is organizing a series of community fairs across Toronto to help connect people with the organizations and companies that can help them live better through conservation. The fairs use a speed-presentation format, which means people can hear between five and seven short pitches within an hour. Participants will receive a list of presenters and they will be able to choose the presentations they want to hear.
Visit www.weconserve.ca/toronto for additional details and the presenters list.
