Every once in a while I get an email that has information that looks like it is really valuable. Sometimes the information is valuable to me, and sometimes that information is valuable to others. When it’s for someone I know, I take the time to craft an email and send the information along to the person or persons who I think can benefit from the information.

Earlier this summer I was invited to two events this October that are geared towards environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on travel and tourism. Two events that, were the dates not conflicting with other commitments, I would have happily and enthusiastically attended. I share them with you in the hopes that you may be interested, or that someone will come to mind who may benefit from learning about them.

In the first week of October, on the east coast of Canada,

Working in Gros Morne, delivering sustainable tourism training with http://www.gmist.com over the past four years I have come to know many fine people who are behind this event. If you can count on anything, attending a GMIST Gatherings event, you can count on being inspired to take action in your community. This event is designed to be more than just a sharing of information. Attendees can expect to be engaged in solution-finding to help their community embark on sustainable tourism projects.

In the last week of October, on the west coast of Canada,

This event is hosted by The International Ecotourism Society. I have presented at two conferences with TIES and have found the presentations to be inspiring, particularly with regard to policy development and larger community level issues.

These events take place on the east and west coast of Canada this autumn. If you are interested in pursuing sustainability for a tourism-related pursuit, please consider attending one of these events.
