C-Vert Environmental Forum

C-Vert Environmental Forum 2009

May 20, 2009

On the 20th of May 2009 the 2nd C-Vert Environmental Forum took place at the Lavoie School in Cote-des-Neiges / Notre-Dame-de-Grace. 200 youth came out to take environmental actions and listen to the encouraging words of internationally renowned ecologist and activist Dr. David Suzuki. The three C-Vert groups, from the boroughs of Villeray - St-Michel – Parc Extension, Côte-des-Neiges – Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Mercier – Hochelaga-Maisonneuve had a chance to share environmental concerns, as well as what actions they are planning to take this spring to counter the effects of ‘urban heat islands’. Participants of the Forum also took action with C-Vert by visiting their environmental kiosks. To top it off, C-Vert gave out local organic seeds to everyone present to encourage some immediate green living!
