Panel on book « Demain, Le Québec »
Inspired by the producers of the film DEMAIN produced by Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent, the Quebecois sector of the David Suzuki Foundation went out to meet Quebeckers who hope to create a better, more fair and democratic world that is equally environmentally friendly. They published a book which reflects their values and commitment to a safer, more egalitarian and more environmentally conscious, world. The panel members will discuss the book.
Panel members include Karel Mayrand, Diego Creimer, Louise Hénault-Éthier and Julie Roy.
