The 2013 Conference on the Environment is slated to kick off in Buffalo, New York on Thursday, October 3rd at the Adam's Mark Hotel when Gord Downie--front man for the band, The Tragically Hip--performs a remarkable Evening of Music & Conversation. Tickets are available to the public for just $25. The show begins at 7:30 PM; doors open at 6:00 PM.
Although Gord Downie is best known for his music, over the years he has become a strong advocate for protecting the Great Lakes and for people's water rights. As a member of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, much of Gord's environmental activism has been focused on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. However, the health of the Great Lakes has no political boundaries, nor does our right to protect the largest source of fresh water on the planet.
The music of Gord Downie will be the highlight of the 2013 Conference on the Environment. Gord's passion for the environment, translated into eclectic performance, will inspire the audience to examine their actions from a more ecological perspective as he explores what he considers "one of the great loves of our lives"--the environment.
Doors for this exciting event open at 6:00 PM when the Western New York Environmental Alliance will showcase the work of environmental organizations from across the region. The show begins at 7:30 PM.
An Evening of Music & Conversation with Gord Downie is sponsored by the New York State Association of Conservation Commissions (NYSACC), New York State Association of Environmental Management Councils (NYSAEMC), the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning, and the Niagara Region Integrated Community Planning Department, and was made possible through the generous contributions of Ecology and Environment, Inc., The Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo, and National Grid.
The 2013 Conference on the Environment is a program of NYSACC and NYSAEMC and has been brought to Buffalo thanks to a partnership with the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning and the Niagara Region Integrated Community Planning Department. The conference will take place October 3-5, 2013 at the Adam's Mark Hotel in downtown Buffalo and is dedicated to helping the public and those in the environmental and allied fields respond to environmental opportunities and challenges relevant to communities across the United States and Canada. Registration is just $95 and includes all conference sessions, select meals, and a ticket to An Evening of Music & Conversation with Gord Downie.
