We will also be doing a quick review of 2011 activities, proposed activities for 2012, a summary of our finances, and an amendment to our by-laws. All are welcome.

Planning for Climate Change

(2012-03-29) The Association will host a meeting at 7:00 pm, Thursday, April 12 at the Kensington Legion. Two regional climate change experts will present recent information and answer our questions, where possible. Erin Taylor, Climate Change Coordinator, PEI Dept. of Environment, Labour & Justice, and Erin Smith, Agri- Environment Services Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada will help us to know more and so that we can begin creating plans for the changing climate that is coming.

Climate change has been labeled by some as the greatest challenge that mankind has ever faced. What could happen to communities on PEI? How will agriculture be affected as weather changes? The more we prepare and do now, the greater our ability will be to cope with these coming changes.
