    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    The Town of The Blue Mountains is hosting the 2nd Annual Blue Mountains and Area Sustainability Summit on April 24 at the Beaver Valley Community Centre in Thornbury. 

    The Sustainability Summit is an essential event for leaders and innovators who are driving the future of sustainability. Pre-registration for the summit is now available on the Town’s Eventbrite webpage. The event is free to attend, but pre-registration is required.

    Last year’s Summit brought together over 120 attendees from diverse sectors, including businesses, non-profits, and residents, who engaged in compelling discussions and presentations on the Circular Economy and Green Initiatives. This year, we’re excited to continue the momentum and dive even deeper into critical topics such as Social Sustainability and Green Economy. 

    What’s New This Year?

    The 2025 Sustainability Summit is a free event that will feature both afternoon and evening sessions, offering an exciting lineup of topics designed to inspire and challenge. Here’s what you can look forward to:

    Afternoon Session (1:00 pm – 4:00 pm):
    The afternoon will delve into the theme of Social Sustainability, featuring an engaging panel discussion on energy poverty and equity, diversity, and inclusion in Climate Solutions. This session will be a perfect opportunity to connect over light refreshments and share ideas with fellow changemakers.

    Evening Session (5:30 pm – 8:00 pm):
    The evening will bring the spotlight on the Green Economy Hub pilot, with presentations from forward-thinking experts sharing sustainable business practices that can shape the future. Additionally, a feature film premiere will be showcased, followed by a chance to network with industry leaders and peers over hors d’oeuvres and beverages.

    Registration for the event is now open. Participants can register for the afternoon, evening, or both sessions. The Sustainability Summit is a free event, but pre-registration is required. Space is limited, and participants are encouraged to register early to secure their space. With a carefully curated agenda, the Summit will offer valuable insights and opportunities for those committed to sustainability.
