You're invited! To the next exciting evening in our environmental speakers series (on Feb. 12, 2009)

Toronto’s JO COOMBE is an accomplished classical pianist, an equestrian and a happily married mother of two. She also happens to be Vice President of Strategic Accounts at Bullfrog Power. Jo will tell us how this leading Canadian provider of 100% green electricity makes it easy and convenient for us to choose green, carbon-free power, such as wind power and low-impact water power, so we can help fight climate change and create a healthier environment for future generations.

Alton’s ANDREW WELCH wears many hats, from actor to mountain climber to software creator to management consultant and more. However, he is most widely known for WattPlot, a software product sold around the globe for monitoring renewable energy systems. Andrew will talk about his experience with creating power for his own home using a wind turbine. With no special background in electricity or engineering, Andrew approaches his topic from a layperson’s perspective, making the content accessible to all, while his reputation as a professional actor promises to make it an engaging presentation.

Palgrave’s BARB IMRIE is an Environmentalist with a capital “E”. A key player in the Palgrave Environmental Watch and the Palgrave United Church’s Turkey Task Force this outdoor educator for the Toronto District School Board is also proprietor of Buckstown Beans, the perfect local supplier for your fair trade coffee and……chocolate!
With Valentine’s Day right on the heels of this particular speakers night Barb is sure to have some of the yummy stuff available for sale following her talk about everyone’s favourite mouth-watering confection.
