BECC is seeking volunteers for a TBEC Council to coordinate BEC activities in Toronto.
BACKGROUND
A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban core and its surrounding countryside where
people and organizations cooperate to develop a culture of sustainability. The BEC
approach works through education and involvement. There are BEC initiatives in five
cities: Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Biosphere Eco-Cities
Canada (BECC) supports their development. Toronto BEC (TBEC) teams manage a
large Database of Sustainability Projects and a Youth Climate Action initiative. The
TBEC website is https://Toronto.BioEcoCity.org.
