Trails to Sustainability
An Environmental Education Conference
May 24-27, 2007
Delta Lodge at Kananaskis
www.trailstosustainability.ca

Registration is now open for this exciting conference, which is designed for all teachers and educators, whether you teach in a school or elsewhere. Come join us in the spectacular setting of the Kananaskis Valley. Picture yourself learning about and celebrating environmental education, in May, in the Rockies … it doesn't get any better!

This event will help you learn more about the many “trails” to environmental stewardship and a vibrant society and economy. Our keynote speakers reflect these three pillars of sustainability:

  • Environment: Dr. David Schindler will help us examine our environmental impacts and responsibilities through a lens of water, while Karsten Heuer will show our connections to wildlife and wilderness.
  • Society: Stephen Lewis will remind us what we can do to improve the human condition, in Canada and abroad.
  • Economy: Hunter Lovins will shows how schools, business, and people profit and thrive when we “green” our practice.

The first 150 conference registrants can register for just $99, plus a mandatory fee of $35 that gives you membership in three organizations. The first day of the conference (Friday, May 25th) has already been planned – you can register online for one of our 19 Trails, thematic full-day sessions designed to help you explore a topic close to your heart. We are currently accepting proposals for Saturday workshops; you can download our Request for Proposals form, which is due on Monday, October 2nd, 2006.
