On June 10th, Darlington Nuclear Public Affairs hosted their seventh Environmental Convergence at the Darlington Nuclear Information Centre. The concept of the Convergence began and continues to be a way to celebrate Canadian Environment Week with an emphasis on building partnerships. And this year, the Convergence also celebrated the United Nations sanctioned 2010 International Year of Biodiversity.
This event brings together OPG staff, stakeholders and community and environmental partners to discuss and learn about specific environmental topics and to work together on solutions for improved environmental stewardship
OPG’s Sustainable Development Senior Advisor Steve Hounsell, presented an interesting, informative and inspirational keynote on the “State of Biodiversity – A Call for Action: Thinking Internationally, Acting Locally.” The event also included interactive workshops on creating backyard bird habitats and the impact of invasive species.
The Environmental Converge illustrates OPG’s continued commitment to conversation and preservation of the environment, during the International Year for Biodiversity and always.
