Hi Everyone,
In March the ArcticAge Conference will be taking place in Ottawa (http://cityage.org/arctic/). The meeting has lined up a cross-section of speakers involved in the Arctic to discuss future directions in the north.
From the conference website:
The future of the Arctic is one of the most important international debates of the 21st Century. Government, businesses and people are asking questions that will have consequences for the North and the rest of the planet for generations to come.
That's why on March 17, CityAge Media will organize the inaugural ArcticAge: Our Northern Future. This special event will gather leaders in business and government with indigenous and northern leaders to address new models of private and public investment in the Arctic.
The Canadian Polar Commission is one of the presenting bodies, and has offered to support the attendance of 5 APECS members at the meeting through covering their registration fees. There is no travel money associated with this so we are looking for Ottawa area participants.
As part of your participation at the meeting we are then asking APECS members that attend this one day event to help communicate the meeting to other APECSers through tweeting the event, a blog post, an article on the APECS website or some other form of sharing.
If you are interested please send a CV, and a short email explaining why you would like to attend the meeting, and how you would like to share the experience with others to Jenn Provencher (jennifpro@gmail.com).
