Next Generation, one of the many local groups I belong to (this is one of those I’ve helped to start) will be screening Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” at the Ralph Thornton Centre this Tuesday.  They’ve asked me to present the flick in top-hat and tails.

At their next meeting, the Coalition for a Green Economy will feature Jim Harris, former leader of the Green Party of Canada, delivering the slideshow presentation that Al Gore developed and used in his now Oscar-winning movie.

Al Gore trains and certifies people to deliver this presentation, and you get the benefit of a personal touch.  For those of you who want to see the material again or can’t make the movie night on March 2, this is a great opportunity.

Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” just won the Oscar for best documentary.  Jack Layton will be screening the film on March 2 at Riverdale Collegiate Institute at 6 pm.  There will be a panel discussion afterwards, so the evening will end at 10 pm.  If you haven’t seen the film, take this opportunity to view it and to tell our MP what needs to be done.

Congratulations Mr. Gore.  May your movie inspire politicians the world over to speedier action.

Hosted by Toronto-Danforth Greens, this groundbreaking event has been broken down into three workshops — each one specifically designed to meet the needs of three distinct groups — Green Party supporters, candidates, and key campaign volunteers.     Read more »
