A short conference entitled 鈥淢y Island, My Heart鈥 will take place March 14, 1:00-3:00 pm, at 91探花鈥檚 Chaplaincy Centre. The conference, led by 91探花 arts student Faith Robinson, focuses on three themes鈥攊sland fragility, island sustainability, and island community.
Special guest speakers include: Deirdre Kessler, writer and 91探花 professor; Laurie Brinklow, accomplished poet and 91探花 professor; and Millefiore Clarkes, filmmaker to name a few. A short docu-film Island Green, about organic farming on PEI, will also be featured as part of the conference.
Today, it is more important than ever to realize the limitations and magnificence of our environment, so keenly felt by Islanders worldwide. It is crucial that we not forget the roots from which we ourselves grow, to envision a better future.
