Event Description
Lee Brain, a Village Vancouver member who currently resides in Prince Rupert where he helped to co-found the local Transition Town Initiative, has garnered significant attention throughout North America with his stirring testimony on February 18th at the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline hearings. Lee speaks powerfully about insights gained as the son of a senior oil executive, and ends his testimony with a moving call for “a full scale, mass mobilized transition process off the fossil fuel economy”, with “the mobilization power comparable to the proportions of the Manhattan project, and then some.”
You can watch Lee’s jaw-dropping testimony or read his speech here: http://livingoceanssociety.blogspot.ca/2012/02/compelling-testimony-at-prince-rupert.html
Lee will talk about his testimony and the media response to it as well as the transition movement.

Hi Ross - Thanks, Ross. Sounds great. I've gone through the conference schedule and it's true - I can't fit this in today. I'll be in the conference well into the evening. Have a good time!

Hey Beth,
We've just added a potluck and continuation of the discussion afterwards (6:30-9 pm in Kits, RSVP on potluck event post for address), so if you can't make the presentation, you have another option.
Cheers,
Ross

Hi Leslie. I'd love to come, and may nip out of the World Water Week Symposium at ECUAD to do so - the symposium is part of "Downstream", Rita Wong's project.
Watched/heard Lee Brian's talk on Youtube at the time. Brilliant!
Lovely to see you and talk the other day.
