Lieutenant Governor to give keynote address at Congress
The Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, will present the keynote address at Congress on Tues., Jan. 11.
The address will take place at the Green Communities, Parks and Partnerships, which is a joint venture among the Ontario Parks Association, Communities in Bloom – Ontario and Landscape Ontario.
The goal of this year’s event is to bring together over 200 municipal leaders, parks staff and community stakeholders to raise awareness on the importance of implementing strategies to encourage people of all ages and abilities to enjoy gardening, recreational parks, parklands and landscapes.
“We are exceptionally pleased that the Lieutenant Governor has accepted our invitation to present at the Green Communities, Parks & Partnership event,” said Lee Rozon, executive director of Communities in Bloom – Ontario. “He has been tireless in his efforts to promote accessibility, during which he has gained a keen awareness that parks and green spaces and their enjoyment by all, is an important part of his mandate as Lieutenant Governor.”
The Green Communities event will run from 11 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. in the Waxman Room at the Toronto Congress Centre. The keynote address is scheduled to begin at 1:30, following a network luncheon at 12-noon. Tickets are $45 per person and can be purchased online at www.locongress.com until Jan. 7.
