SUMMARY:Green Drinks at Banditry Cider
DESCRIPTION:If you’d like to connect with community members who care about protecting both the global and local environment\, come out to Banditry Cider this Friday evening (April 25th) for Green Drinks! \nLocals Brendan and Naomi Glauser have recently started organizing monthly gatherings for Sunshine Coast residents to connect\, learn and share about “Green” topics here on the Sunshine Coast. The first meeting was held on March 28th. At that meeting\, members of Transportation Choices (TRAC) shared about the Connect the Coast project which aims to create a multi-use path parallel to Hwy 101 from Langdale to ch’atlich/Sechelt. \nAt the April 25th meeting\, local resident Duncan Smith will speak about Official Community Plans and Green Bylaws. This year\, multiple communities across the Coast are updating their OCPs\, providing a chance to create a consistent set of Green Bylaws throughout the Lower Sunshine Coast. \nLearn how the Sunshine Coast is reimagining its future through the Official Community Plan (OCP) Renewal – and why Green Bylaws are key to protecting our forests\, wetlands\, and watersheds. We’ll explore how smart planning tools can help us build a more climate-resilient\, environmentally conscious community. Learn what’s at stake\, what’s possible\, and how your voice can help shape the path forward. Let’s plan for a future we can all be proud of. \nThe event runs from 6-8pm\, at Banditry Cider. Arrive a little early (5:30ish) if you’d like to enjoy some dinner from TK’s Gourmet Food Truck. \nThere is no cost to attend. \nThe SCCA has been leading work on OCPs and Green Bylaws for years. To learn more about our work\, check out our pages on OCPs and Green Bylaws.
