​I am happy to announce my first annual “ECO Family Fest” that will take place on October 5th, 2024, from noon to 5 pm at Richmond Hill’s historic “Town Park”. In collaboration with Climate Action Richmond Hill, the ECO Family Fest is a family friendly, free event featuring entertainment, activities, displays, and BBQ , all centered around how climate change is driving innovation across all sectors, particularly those in transportation. The theme of our event is “Empowering Everyday Action for Climate Change,” where we aim to show our community how simple, positive choices can make a significant impact on the environment, the climate, and our health.​

​

I am proud to share that this event has received an endorsement from the United Nations University, recognizing it as a significant initiative in promoting sustainable practices and climate action. Furthermore, the United Nations University will also be participating in this special event and will be showcasing its ongoing projects and activities alongside other leading organizations, innovative startups, and passionate activists dedicated to combating climate change and promoting sustainable development.
