To anyone interested, Dal is hosting two free conferences over the next couple days. The
Elizabeth May Symposium (sustainability and environmental) is tomorrow at the SUB from 2-7 and [url=http://planningconference.dal.ca/Home.html]SHIFT 2012[/url (urban planning and related fields) continues tomorrow and Saturday at Pier 21 and Sexton Campus. Went to see tonight's speaker at SHIFT and I was really impressed. The speaker was a woman from the Bronx who talked about the potential for gentrification and infill to provide opportunities for existing communities instead of creating conflict with them and displacing people. I hope all parties involved in the St. Pat's-Alexandra dispute were there - I definitely saw a few councillors, which is a good sign.
