Between the Leadership Victoria Awards at Government House and the Green New Deal townhall in Fernwood, Victoria was buzzing with excitement.
Last night one of Victoria’s youngest recipients, Rebecca Wolf Gage was acknowledged for her leadership in organizing local youth climate strikes and I had the honour to accept an award on behalf of long-time community environmental organizer, Jane Devonshire. Congratulations to everyone who is making this world a healthier, happier place to live.
And… kudos to the organizers and everyone who attended the Green New Deal townhall where hundreds of people came out to discuss climate action, resilience and community well being. The venue was filled beyond capacity so groups of people met in circle on the lawn behind the center to formulate strategies and discuss positive possibilities.
