Hello everyone,
Here are a couple of free webinars that you might be interested in listening in.
I'm away on July 3rd so am unable to host a group viewing for that one.
However I have registered for the July 17th webinar if anyone wishes to join me at the EcoCentre boardroom to take in that one.
cheers, Beth

Attendees will learn specific institutional changes they can make to better involve the public in all projects and programs, thereby creating better communities for walking and bicycling.
The second webinar, How to Create and Run Effective Advisory and Advocacy Groups, will explain why and how to create and run effective advisory and advocacy groups.
