Climate Change is one of the most important challenges we face today. It is a non-partisan issue that affects us all. For our February community meetings at both Burlington and Milton we have invited Mr. Roman Talkowski to discuss this important topic. He will focus on three key questions:
Must we change? Climate change explained and how it is affecting Canada and the world we live in.
Can we change? Available technologies, (wind, solar, Electric Vehicles, energy storage) to help fight climate change and the progress being made in these areas.
Will we change? Forces for change and things that can be done at both the individual and group level.
Now retired Roman is a long time Burlington resident whose career spans the plastics and banking industries. He has a Bachelor of Science: Major in Chemistry and Biology, and a Masters of Environmental Studies: Regional Planning (Focus on Economic and Environmental Planning) MBA. He has a keen interest in environmental issues and now has the time to volunteer for this cause. More recently he has trained with Al Gores “Climate Reality Project” to learn about Climate Change. We look forward to him sharing his knowledge with us.
Our Milton meeting will take place on Wednesday February 12th from 7.00pm to 8.45pm at the Seniors Activity Centre, 500 Childs Drive, Milton.
Our Burlington meeting will take place on Thursday February 27th from 7.00pm to 8.45pm at the Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington.
Doors will open at both locations at 6.30pm. The program will begin at 7.00pm and wrap-up at 8.45pm. Coffee and tea will be available. Treats for our Milton meeting will be supplied by Revera. We would like to thank them for their generosity.
Please be aware that building safety code regulations govern the maximum number of people who can attend our meetings. If room capacity limits are reached we may have to restrict entrance in order to comply with those regulations.
As many of you will know we have on occasion experienced a high level of attendance at Burlington. Once seating has been set out and people begin to take their places again for safety reasons we are not permitted to bring in more chairs as doing so increases the risk of accident or injury.
Since we hold exactly the same monthly meetings in Milton we encourage anyone who can do so to please consider going to Milton instead of Burlington.
Our main presentation will begin following a short welcoming address and a brief update on your CARP Halton Chapter activities.
There will be a break at the midway point which will allow time to socialize with fellow members and to visit our sponsors. We encourage you to chat with them and learn about the services they provide.
Our sponsors include:
Heart to Home Meals: We make the meals so you can make the most of your day.
Barwood Concierge: Personal Assistants to seniors. Assistance at its best.
Burlington Memorial Gardens: Established in 1979, Burlington Memorial Gardens features over 100 acres of beautifully landscaped and immaculately manicured gardens. Part of the Arbor group of cemeteries and funeral homes, the property is part of the historic Niagara Escarpment.
Marion Goard, Sales Representative – Keller Williams Edge Realty, Brokerage: As well as being a licensed real estate professional, Marion is a Master Accredited Senior Agent® (M-ASA) and Senior Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) specializing in helping Seniors’ and their families through every stage of later-in-life real estate transactions.
Both meetings will conclude with a few closing remarks and our 50/50 draw. We encourage you to support this draw as proceeds help defray the costs incurred in putting on our meetings. The lucky winner at Burlington can expect to take home over $100.
Our meetings are FREE. All are welcome. Please support CARP Halton Chapter. We look forward to meeting our members and friends.
