Upcoming event by PhiLab’s Atlantic Hub
It has long been recognized that environmental charities and non-profits make significant contributions to their local community and to the larger global society. However, very little academic attention has examined the contribution that environmental charities make to Atlantic Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador more specifically. The goal of this research is to increase the understanding and knowledge of the challenges and opportunities for rural environmental charitable organizations to contribute to environmental and community resiliency.
When: June 24th at 11 am Newfoundland Standard Time
We will open the webinar up for questions & provide an opportunity for participants to share their organizations’ experience.
