Good Afternoon from Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland
The 2008 EECOM Conference is taking place in Gros Morne National Park September 25-28 . EECOM is a National Environmental Education and Communication Organization
Our conference is themed An Environmental Learning Gathering: Reconnect.Rethink.Rejoice. This conference will have educational workshops, youth legacy initiatives and will also feature CBC’s Bob McDonald, Sarah Harmer and Father John McCarthy as keynote speakers.
Our provincial government is providing funding for five teachers from across our province to attend this conference. Many more will attend I’m sure. We challenge your government to match or exceed this number.
We need our information to be available to all educators across Canada and we are sure all governments will want to provide funding for educators or youth to attend this conference. More information can be found at www.eecom.org or www.eecom2008.com
Can you please forward these attachments to your distribution lists?
Best Regards,
Glenda Reid Bavis
