March 12: Local Energy, Environment and Community Action: A province-wide video conference 

Virtual participation will bring people from 28 communities large and small and seven universities and colleges across Alberta together on March 12, 2010 to discuss local impacts and solutions to climate change.


Organized by Alberta Acts on Climate Change, the one-day video conference and webcast will address topics such as climate change impacts in rural Alberta, harnessing local energy sources and community
organizing. This is the first event of this scale to combine video conference technology with climate change in rural Alberta.

The event will show participants how citizens are organizing to prevent catastrophic climate change, in ways that fit the communities in which they live. Having more people participating in environmentrelated decisions will ensure vibrant communities and a healthy environment long into the future,
conference organizers hope.

The Topics

4:30pm                              Climate Change and the Implications for Southern Alberta

Dr. Dave Sauchyn - Senior Research Scientist at PARC, U of R

We all know about the variability of the weather in Southern Alberta, floods, droughts, hail, extreme temperature changes. Now imagine that amplified and you have the potential outcome of climate change.  The impacts can be managed by adapting policy, practices and structures, but only if the rates of human caused climate change are kept within reasonable limits.  

 

7:00pm                                  Counting Grizzly Bears in Alberta-Too Many or Not Enough

Gord Stenhouse – Carnivore Biologist & Program Lead Grizzly Bear Program, Foothills Research Institute

 What techniques are being used to determine current population levels? What do the results of extensive surveys mean in context to the human use of grizzly bear habitat?  This, along with futures directions and trends in the grizzly bear populations in Alberta will all be part of this fascinating presentation.
