A Sustainability Story

Everyone likes a good story, no? Read Lianne's story about how my world, my choice! In the Guelph and Peel region of Ontario came to be.  If you learn nothing else through my world, my choice! program and what we are trying to accomplish, we hope you at least take home this: positive actions - big or small - make a world of difference.  Lianne's story is one such example.  Read it at http://www.cme.uoguelph.ca/Foti.pdf]]> Calgary Fall 2009 Recognition Night http://myworldmychoice.org/post/calgary_fall_2009_recognition http://myworldmychoice.org/post/calgary_fall_2009_recognition Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:47:11 -0800
