If you are ready to up your knowledge about sustainability on our island, connect with like-minded people, and learn some easily actionable steps you can take to be a part of the solution to our environmental dilemmas, mark June 5, 2022, on your calendar. To celebrate World Environment Day, the Rotary Club of Sidney by the Sea will facilitate the Living Sustainably Environment Day event at the Mary Winspear Centre.
After months of planning, we are confident this eye-opening day will get you thinking and hopeful for the future with presentations on environmental challenges and sustainable initiatives. You will learn what initiatives businesses, organizations, and individuals undertake to help sustain our environment.
