What are the challenges facing planners and policy makers at our regional and provincial level in addressing transportation issues related to peak oil and climate change? How can we contribute to effective actions that address these challenges? Join us at the upcoming PlanTalk to discuss topics including the proposed provincial Gateway Program, the BC Carbon Tax, and other transportation investments as we debate and challenge one another to think critically about the future of transportation in our region.

Speakers:
Anthony Perl, Director SFU Urban Studies Program and Jordan Bateman, Media Spokesperson for Get Moving BC and Langley Township Councillor will lead this discussion by providing their insight into the unique transportation challenges that face our region in the immediate and long term within the context of peak oil and climate change.

Moderated by Bryn Davidson, Executive Director of non-profit Dynamic Cities Project
