Cowichan Green Community (CGC) is excited to announce that we will be hosting our third annual Seeds for Change Conference.  With the vision of raising awareness through educational programs that provide people with action-based solutions, this conference series seeks to engage citizens, community organizations, businesses and government in addressing positive solutions to issues that are of importance to the Cowichan Valley.

The topic of our upcoming Seeds for Change Conference on February 18^th, 2012 will be Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and the Right to Choose.  In a climate of misinformation around what is or is not a GMO and the lack of transparency regarding GMO labeling, this conference seeks to highlight examples of how citizens and communities within Canada are working together to choose alternatives.

Through a series of speakers and a panel discussion, this conference will feature Jean Crowder, MP Nanaimo-Cowichan, Thierry Vrain, co-owner of Innisfree Farm in Courtenay, Jon Steinman of Deconstructing Dinner and more…

Taking place on February 18^th, 2012 from 10am to 4pm, this event will be hosted at the Hub in the Cowichan Station. CGC will provide coffee, tea and light snacks.  Farm’s Gate Food and Catering will be on site serving-up a fabulous set lunch for $15.00 or you’re welcome to BYOL.

Entrance to this conference will be by donation.  We are taking early registration as space is limited.  For more details or to register for this event, please contact the Cowichan Green Community at 250-748-8506 or check out our website: http://cowichangreencommunity.org/content/seeds-change-speaker-series-gmos-right-choose
