We're excited to host Craig DeLong to start our 2024 webinar series. 

His presentation will be focused on adaptation and mitigation strategies for smaller communities. Learn how we can better protect our communities from the increasing threat of wildfire. He’ll also be suggesting how individuals and communities can decrease greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on changing how we drive and initiatives to reduce supply chain contributions. He'll finish by sharing our way forward, through coordination, cooperation, and innovation within geographic regions like the West Kootenays.

There will be plenty of time for Q&A and dialogue.
