We were happy to be a part of the Rural Women’s Conference at Clymont Hall near Devon, Alberta. We had a great presentation that we just revamped, and we had a lot of good feedback and questions related to Our Green Year.
We met a lot of nice people there, including Jim Hole, who was nice enough to come over and talk to us after our presentation. We debuted a new revamped presentation and are hoping that everyone liked it. Over 250 people were in attendance at this popular event.
Looking forward to Urban Grassland’s talk in two weeks!

On Nov. 18, Layla and I talked to the people of Wetaskawin about their journey to go green and how everyone can go green. There was a good turnout at the event, put on by Wetaskawin Tomorrow, and there were many great questions.
It was great to see a city in Alberta looking to the future and planning a more sustainable tomorrow. Everyone was very nice and both Layla and I were happy to meet with everyone and show what Our Green Year was all about.
