DATE: Saturday May 12 or Saturday May 26
TIME: 9:30am to 2:30pm
LOCATION: BC Hydro Theatre – Room 1151, Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability – 2260 West Mall
What is the Workshop About?
Increasingly, we are having to think about energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as we plan for the future of our
neighbourhoods. How will planning for energy and reducing GHGs a ect our communities? What opportunities do we have
to address energy and GHG issues, and at the same time maintain, or improve, the things we value about where we live?
What Will We Do?
Through a series of interactive exercises, we will explore together how energy works in our neighbourhoods, and how we
might plan and design our neighbourhoods for a lower carbon future.
Who Will Attend?
Residents of both the Grandview-Woodland and Marpole neighbourhoods of Vancouver are invited to attend the workshop, as part of the kick-off to the neighbourhood planning processes starting in the Fall of 2012. Please RSVP to Titania Lam at the City of Vancouver: 604-871-6302.
Where?
The workshops will be held in the new BC Hydro Theatre, at the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS), at UBC. The BC Hydro Theatre is a new, state of the art facility with a focus on exploring sustainable futures.
