Limiting the Effects of Extreme Weather
Jason Juurlink
Falls Brook Centre would like to invite you to a community meeting
regarding the effects of extreme weather. It is free for everybody and
all are welcome so invite your friends!!
Free coffee, tea, snacks and door prizes will be available.
The weather seems to be less and less predictable.
Major changes to seasonal weather patterns can take us by surprise if
we’re not prepared for the consequences. Understanding the areas in
which we are vulnerable helps us to plan for extreme weather and to
protect ourselves, our businesses and our natural resources.
Do you have questions or concerns about changing weather and how it
might affect your land, home, business or community? If so then come
out to the meeting
