THE PERMACULTURE PROJECT GTA
SPRING CONFERENCE 2011

‘MEET THE COMMUNITY, MEET THE HUB’

APRIL 9 & 10 2011
TORONTO, ONTARIO
$70 registration


This Conference brings together individuals, businesses, community groups and community based organizations to discuss the current permaculture movement in Toronto and the GTA. Our aim is to strengthen our hub as well as our ties to other permaculture communities. This global hub to hub network system will be looked at in depth during the conference as this ideology is the very essence of the Permaculture Project GTA.

…

Using a project review model we will come together for 2 days in Toronto to critically analyze and assess the re-envisioning of our future!

We will be sharing information through workshops and presentations, community group meet and greets, as well as providing an arena for attendee project information and idea sharing. There will be opportunity as well for community building exercises such as seed sharing and a large group mural of a dream city scope.

Included in the registration fee:
FOOD| WORKSHOPS| PRESENTATIONS| CONCERTS|MEET AND GREET|CHILD CARE*| SUPPLIES FOR GROUP ACTIVITIES|



Join us as we take a critical look at Toronto's Permaculture movement. We have invited large organizations, grassroots collectives, project coordinators, community animators, as well as representatives from organizations with sustainable mandate such as wellness, health, and arts communities, and fellow permaculturists.


Come make permaculture magic!
