Metro Vancouver’s Sustainability Community Breakfasts is a series of monthly
breakfast meetings that support the Sustainable Region Initiative. They provide
an opportunity to build networks and partnerships, to increase awareness and
understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to sustainability, and
to bring together individuals and organizations interested in the sustainability
of the region. Each breakfast typically features one or more presentations about
sustainability initiatives, as well as updates about on-going projects.
The Sustainability Community Breakfasts were originally introduced to share
information and build awareness leading up to the World Urban Forum 3 (WUF3) in
June of 2006; today, as interest in enhancing the sustainability of our Region
grows, the breakfasts appeal to a growing number of individuals in the private,
public, academic and not-for-profit sectors that are interested in networking
and keep abreast of latest developments.
Each breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. and finishes at 9:00 a.m. Following the
breakfast, participants are encouraged to actively engage in informal networking
and discussions of sustainability topics and trends to help expand awareness of
those issues.
