The Bay of Quinte Green Party of Ontario presents the first in their 2023/24 Speaker Series - hybrid events where people can come in person or participate by zoom. Events are open to all and are not political. The hope is to explore and discuss themes that are important to the life of our community.    

OUR THEME: How to build sustainable, affordable, liveable communities

WHERE: St Andrew’s, 31 King Street, Picton

6pm - meet and greet, pizza and finger food will be served, bring something if you wish

6:45pm - because it is our AGM, we will need to take 10 minutes to elect our Executive

7pm - speakers followed by Q&A

8pm - post-discussion with coffee and cookies to 8:30pm

Our first theme is how to build the communities we need. Ontario needs 1.5 million new homes and it’s easy to see how the rush to action can take precedence over questions like where to build, what designs to use, and how to make our new homes and communities sustainable and liveable. 

PRE-REGISTER YOUR ATTENDANCE HERE

Our Speakers:

o  Dan Leeming, co-founder of the Planning Partnership. Dan has worked on the design of communities throughout Ontario and the U.S. and will discuss how to design liveable communities.

o  John Ambrose is an engineer and investment advisor who has a deep interest in geothermal heating and cooling. John will discuss how we can build our new housing to be free of fossil fuels.

o  Victor Doyle was the lead planner of Ontario's Greenbelt Plan and will discuss the hidden - and large - costs of sprawl housing.

We look forward to seeing you Oct. 24th.
