Mr. Manning's understanding of the Christian faith attaches great importance to the establishment of "right relationships" - including healthy, sustainable relationships between human beings and the environment. Join us for a discussion, lead by Preston Manning, surrounding the challenges of expressing and practising these land stewardship convictions in the context of the global mar ketplace and the Canadian political arena.
Mr. Manning served as a Member of the Canadian Parliament from 1993 to 2001. He founded two new political parties - the Reform Party of Canada and the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance - both of which became the official Opposition in the Canadian Parliament. Since retirement from Parliament in 2002, Mr. Manning has released a book entitled Think Big (published by McClelland & Stewart) describing his use of the tools and institutions of democracy to change Canada's national agenda.
Mr. Manning is a practising Christian with life-long interests in the relationships between faith and science, faith and business, faith and politics, and faith and conflict resolution. As a result, he continues to write, speak, and teach on a variety of subjects including environmental conservation.

Shell Forum, 3rd Floor Scurfield Hall
Dr. Robert (Bob) Page B.A. (Hons), M.A., PhD
Summary
Copenhagen was not a success and had a very confusing political ending. Yet there are certain lessons for the Alberta Government and the energy industry which emerge. In this seminar Dr. Page will argue that there will likely be a new international process, a reopening of some of the matters agreed to but not in the final statement, and new financial obligations for Canada for 2012. The chaos of Copenhagen should not divert attention from trends underway which Obama and the EU hope to mobilize. Dr. Page will also outline some of the interesting discussions on Carbon Capture & Storage, and important trends to watch for at forthcoming G-8 meetings in Muskoka in the summer and the next COP in Mexico in November.

As Canadian communities stretch to equip themselves for a rapidly changing world, concerns with food security, food sustainability and food sovereignty are suddenly "on the table". Consumers want assurances that their food is safe.
Shoppers who only a short time ago thought of food as coming from the store increasingly want to know where and how it was produced. There is a growing segment of consumers who now want to feel some sort of "relationship" with the farmer who grew it. Canadians who eat for a living are finally waking up to the fact that farmers are important. Can good public policy be far behind?
Come listen to Canadian Agrologist and farm columnist Wendy Holm talk about why emerging public focus on food is happening "just in time" and what communities can do to support it.
