GreenJobsBC will be holding a town hall event in Gibsons this Saturday to discuss possibilities for a green economy, and get feedback from citizens about their goals for creating local jobs that are good for the economy and the environment.
The town hall will bring together members of the community including labour and environmental groups to have a constructive conversation on how to achieve these goals. The event will be held at the Kinsmen Hall at 399 Aldersprings Road in Gibsons, at 2 p.m. on April 26.
Residents of the Sunshine Coast are encouraged to attend and join GreenJobs BC’s co-chairs BCGEU president Darryl Walker and Lisa Matthaus of Organizing for Change, and other speakers to hear about possibilities for creating green jobs, and to share local visions for their community.
“B.C. needs bold and purposeful policy and action to build an economy that creates sustainable livelihoods for British Columbians while dealing with climate change,” said Walker. “We know that British Columbia can create green jobs while lowering its GHG emissions.”
