Good Green Jobs Expo Sudbury on Earth Day
I am proud of my community of Sudbury, Ontario Canada (1). Many in my community understand the seriousness of the climate crisis and we are acting on it as a community. We are lucky enough to have a chapter of Blue Green Canada which is an alliance between the United Steelworkers and Environmental Defence to support the development of good green jobs as part of a new green economy.
Tomorrow, Thursday April 22, 2010, Sudbury ON is going to have its first expo dedicated soley to green careers (2). This event will be a day of presentations from experts in business, education, environment and labour who see what is needed, what is possible, and what a bold vision can accomplish in expanding Northern Ontario's transition into a sustainable 'greener' ECONOMY. No other day will bring together students, displaced workers, under-employed talented people with businesses, environmentalists, labour, colleges and universities to explore the benefits of the emerging green sustainable future. People will be able to find out about the job skills needed for the next 5, 10 and 20 years ahead.
Many thanks to the Sudbury and District Labour Council, the Blue Green Alliance, the Sudbury Manitoulin Workforce Partnerships Board, Trades Events North and the Trillium Foundation for preparing Sudbury for the 21st Century.
Happy Earth Day everyone.
