Get inspired during the 2022 Kingston Climate Change Symposium! The symposium kicks off Jan. 13 with an incredible line-up of speakers from across Canada including Nobel Peace Prize Award Nominee and climate activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier, meteorologist, science reporter, and author Johanna Wagstaffe, and broadcaster Ali Hassan as host. Register for free!

While you wait for the symposium to begin, enjoy and learn from these recommendations. 

Have you thought about what will be most important to you if you become seriously ill or injured, or near the end of life? Who will speak for you if you are unable, and have you clearly communicated your beliefs, values, and wishes to them? Advance care planning helps you arrange for future care needs to ensure your directions will be respected and carried out.

Come to an online Compassionate Communities Kingston seminar on the second Tuesday of each month from Jan. 11 through May 10. Those who have attended previous sessions and have questions about advance care planning are always welcome to register for a new session!

Join Astrid Muschalla from the Rideau 1000 Islands Master Gardeners as she introduces indoor Bokashi composting. Unlike aerobic composting, the Bokashi method won’t produce greenhouse gases, so it’s a low-tech tactic that both individuals and businesses can use. There are two identical Indoor Bokashi Composting sessions, Monday, Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 22 at 2 p.m.
