This is a Toronto Peak Oil Meetup event.  These events are organized by Post Carbon Toronto, and address the problems of oil reliance from an economic perspective, given that we’re about to reach the point where supply can no longer meet demand.  The meetups are followed by socializing at a local eatery, often the Cafe Frappe.

We don’t have a provincial Green Party presence in Toronto-Danforth, and it’s time to build one. This is a workshop presented by U of T Alumni Greens and featuring Shane Jolley, who got 15% of the popular vote for the Greens in Grey-Bruce-Owen Sound in the 2006 federal election. It is aimed at building Constituent Assemblies in the GTA, where CAs will have to work together to build a Green presence city-wide.

CA-building Workshop.
Sunday, 2006 October 22, 2pm to 5pm.
Bahen Centre, room 2139,
40 St George St (University of Toronto). Free.

This is a 3-hour workshop, which will be followed by a walk to Kensington Market or Chinatown to enjoy some food together. I would really love to see some people out there from Toronto-Danforth, as we desperately need a Green presence here on the provincial side. Contact Mark Francis at mfrancn228@rogers.com if you’d like to participate.
