CANDIDATES DEBATE: “CLIMATE CHANGE AND OUR ENERGY CHOICES”  

7 pm, Tuesday, May 26th, 2009   Theatre A, Tupper Building, Dalhousie University

During this provincial election campaign, no other public debates are focusing specifically on issues related to climate change and Nova Scotia’s energy future.  In general, questions such as pricing carbon, renewable energy, and energy costs have been receiving scant attention during this campaign.  Here is your one opportunity to examine and compare what the 4 Parties plan to do about such crucial issues and what their visions are for revitalizing Nova Scotia’s energy future.      

Moderator: Silver Donald Cameron.  Questions are being prepared by the Ecology Action Centre.  Audience members will also have an opportunity to ask the candidates questions that concern them on matters relating to climate change and our energy choices.  The debate is co-sponsored by the Ecology Action Centre and the Dalhousie College of Sustainability.

How to get there:  Theatre A,  (1st floor), Tupper Building, Dalhousie Medical School—located between Robie St. and Summer St. on the west and east, and University Ave. and College St. on the south and north.  Entrance: 5850 College Street.

Cost: Free.
