Dear RCE Saskatchewan Members:
I am happy to provide you with an update regarding the International RCE
Conference in Penang, Malaysia, that I attended on behalf of RCE
Saskatchewan on August 7-8, 2007, as well as the 2007 World Innovation
Forum (WIF), "Innovating Towards Sustainability" held in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, on August 10-11, 2007. This update includes:
(1) Information regarding documents and photos from both conferences
(2) Conference highlights

(1) Conference Documents and Photos

I have posted a powerpoint presentation that includes my speaking notes for the conference panel at the International RCE Conference held in Penang, Malaysia, on August 7 and 8, 2007 in the documents section of the website (see "RCE Project Documents" tab at top of this page). RCE Saskatchewan was one of 4 RCEs profiled on the panel (along with RCE Penang, RCE Nairobi, and RCE Barcelona) to the 35 RCEs and 15 new RCEs applying at the conference. In addition I have posted presentations from RCE Penang that was hosting the event.

Here at the minutes from the 1st Climate Change Working Group meeting.

NOTE: at the end of the minutes, I've included an appendix that provides everyone with a copy of what was handed out at the meeting. 

The next face to face Climate Change Working Group meeting is anticipated to take place in early November somewhere between Regina and Saskatoon.

As some of you know, I have been working to get Douglas Worts here to stimulate interest and actions around the role of culture in sustainable development.  Doug is a well-published author and educator on the subject, with over 25 years experience through the Art Gallery of ON.  He is also a Fellow of the Leaders for Environment And Development (LEAD) program initiated by the Rockefeller Foundation.  Links to his interests and writing are available at http://www.geocities.com/dcworts/.

On August 20, 2007 the RTG will be moving the RCE Server to a new location. During this time, the RCE Sask site will not be available. We will try our best to get the site back up and running as quickly as possible and we appreciate your patience during this time.

Regards,

Sask RCE Site Administrator
