We will be hosting a Weston A. Price Foundation Potluck. Please bring one nourishing traditional dish to share with others. If you are unsure of what a nourishing traditional dish is, please read Dietary Guidelines and Dietary Dangers. Please bring a list of ingredients for the dish or a copy of the recipe. This is for those people with food allergies or sensitivities to even properly prepared nourishing traditional foods.

We will be discussing the formation of a herd share program for Kamloops. We will review Naomi Fournier’s lecture on January 9, 2010 for those families that could not attend. If you are interested in raw milk, please come to this meeting.

Tria Donaldson, Canadian Youth Delegate to the Copenhagen Conference
will be making presentations at:
TRU in the Clock Tower Theatre
7 pm on Thursday January 14th.

The Environment and Sustainability Speaker Series will sponsor a Copenhagen Post Mortem, to look at what happened and where we go following the Copenhagen Climate meeting in December.

Critical Mass is a gathering of cyclists in support of cyclist equality in the urban center. We ride through the downtown core (beginning at Riverside Park) in a pack, taking up a lane to ourselves. Everyone is welcome on the ride, and we only go as fast as our slowest person, so don’t worry about being left behind! Our rides our designed to be fun and easy and usually don’t take more than 30 minutes, so don’t be put off thinking we’re riding up to Sahali.

Make a stand for alternative transportation. When cyclists are seen riding by themselves in the middle of winter they are thought of as “crazy persons” but when a large group ride together it makes people think.

Help us make the city think. Happy riding folks.

Sunday, January 31st at 2 p.m. at TRU Clock Tower Theatre there will be a public forum featuring talks by Professor Douw Steyn of UBC on “Air Quality in Kamloops” and Professor Penny Powers of TRU on “The Threat to Our Health”.

This public forum is just one response to the attempt to turn Kamloops into the pollution capital of BC from the Tournament Capital of Canada by allowing a toxic waste incinerator to operate in our city.

This public forum is co-sponsored by the TRUFA human rights committee, SaveKamloops and the TRU School of Nursing.

All are welcome.

For more information please contact Derek Cook, Chair of the TRUFA Human Rights Committee at 250 828 5244 .
