Mike Simpson with the BC Council for International Cooperation will be relaying information and ideas collected from their first tour across the province
“There’s a BC election coming up in May, so we’re going to all the same 29 communities and we’re just saying, it doesn’t matter what your political stripe is; Canada signed onto these goals, and for all these goals to take place” we have to start at the local level, says Simpson.
“We’re asking people to ask their politicians,’what are they going to do to implement theses goals in the BC election?”
Some of the UN goals range from poverty elimination to green house gas reduction
They’ll be in Smithers at the old church this Thursday at 7:30 pm
