Recently, Green Manitoba partnered with The Climate Project Canada (TCPC) (climateprojectcanada.org) to send three educators from Manitoba to Nashville Tenn. to receive training to present new and updated information that Al Gore introduced with "An Inconvenient Truth". The focus has shifted include not only better science but more forward thinking solutions and grassroots ideas.

What is The Climate Project Canada?

The Climate Project Canada is a non-profit organization that serves as the Canadian component of a global movement of more than 3,000 diverse and dedicated volunteers from around the world. These volunteers have been personally trained by former US Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore to educate the public about the science and impacts of climate change as well as solutions to address the climate crisis. Climate Project presenters have already delivered presentations to over five million people worldwide.

The presenters are volunteers and there is no cost for the presentation. However there are travel and accommodations costs associated with bringing a presenter out to your community, business or school. If covering the costs of the Manitoba-based presenter to come to your community are prohibitive, please contact Green Manitoba at 204-945-3268.
