Dec 23, Pennywise – Trail, Beaver Valley, Rossland

David Suzuki bringing
climate talk to Trail
“The way we see the world shapes
the way we treat it.” That’s a quote
from David Suzuki who is coming
to Trail on May 1, 2020 to speak at
a public event at the Trail Memorial
Centre.
An evening with David Suzuki -
‘Human impact on our environment’
will feature his observations about
our collective impact on the environment
and what we need to do to
address the climate crisis.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to hear one of Canada’s most
respected scientists and environmental
advocates share his insights
and experiences in a no-nonsense,
exciting and enlightening evening,
in person. There will also be a
question and answer period after his
presentation.
Bill Van Beek is chair of the Lower
Columbia Community Development
Team Society (LCCDTS) and their
sustainability committee is organizing
Dr. Suzuki’s visit. “The outcome
we hope to see from this event is help
with building capacity in our communities
to be able to address ideas
of how we can have an impact on the
climate crisis. This is an opportunity
to us, for our communities, to take
the initiative and take steps to build a
stronger and more resilient economy
and healthy communities,” he says.
Suzuki’s theme is the anthropocene,
the current geological age
when human activity has been the
dominant influence on climate and
the environment. Humanity has
experienced massive growth and
change in population, science, technology,
consumption and economics
that have endowed us with the power
to alter the biological, physical and
chemical properties of the planet.
Now we have to decide how we
respond to the climate crisis and how
we change course again to reduce our
impact and achieve sustainability.
Morag Carter is executive director
of the Community Skills Centre
and chairs the LCCDTS sustainability
committee. She worked for the
David Suzuki Foundation for several
years and asked him to come to Trail
and speak.
“Throughout his career, Dr. Suzuki
has been a passionate advocate for a
healthy environment and for healthy
people, especially children. We’re
thrilled that he is able to come back
to the Kootenays next year,” Carter
says.
Suzuki will also be speaking in an
exclusive engagement with grade 11
and 12 students earlier in the day.
“We’re bringing 700 students and
staff to the Charles Bailey Theatre
from area high schools to spend time
learning with Dr. Suzuki,” Carter
adds.
Tickets for the evening event are
available at the Charles Bailey Theatre
box office and online www.trailarts.com
