The Mono Mulmur Citizens’ Coalition, or MC2, is hosting an ‘Extreme Weather’ presentation next Saturday, March 28th from 10 a.m. until noon at Monora Park (500 Monora Park Drive, Mono). More than 80 participants are expected.
Confirmed speakers include: Director of Public Works for Mono, Mike Dunmore, and Steve Murphy from Emergency Management Dufferin County. Glenn Switzer, Director of Engineering, for the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) and Pete Karageorgos of the Insurance Bureau of Canada will also speak, following and introduction by Arnold DeGraaff.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to attend this free event, to share ideas and discuss action plans.
Refreshments will be served during the break.
“We will have a number of informative handouts for participants to take home so they can work on their own unique plan for their situation,” said event co-organizer, Rita Reitsma. “We will also have references participants can pursue on the Internet.”
“MC2 does several presentations annually in which we invite the public,” Reitsma continued. “Previous (Speaker Series topics have covered) proposed Land Use Plan for the county; DEEP waste proposal; Decline of Bees and Organic vs. Chemical Farming. We try to provide balanced and detailed information to help educate ourselves and the community on issues that matter to all of us. The environment committee is specifically sponsoring this event in March. As a committee we plan to do another presentation in the fall on GMOs.”
