April 1st, 2010
This year marks the 6th Annual Festival & Sustainability Expo, and we are off to a wonderful start! We’ve got new exhibitors signing up daily, sponsors coming on board and volunteers eager to help in all kinds of ways. In this blog I’ll be sharing some of the exciting discoveries I make as I develop the program for the festival including the amazing people I meet and the organizations working for a sustainable future. Stay tuned for updates on the movers and shakers in the local community here on Vancouver Island and beyond. A big thank you to our Organic Hero Sponsor, Level Ground Trading who has been generously supporting the festival since 2005.
