Food for Talk Presents.

Will and Erica Allen, Growing Power
Friday, October 21 3:00-5:00 
Toronto City Hall, Committee Room 4 (NOTE location change)

Will and Erika Allen, two leaders of Growing Power, an inspiring
Milwaukee-based model for integrating environmental and social
sustainability through food security leadership training, will be speaking
at Toronto City Hall on October 21.

This is the full package of environmental and social leadership through the
growing power of urban agriculture, enhanced by two amazing personalities.
Will, a former professional basketball player, has just won a major Ford
Foundation award for lifetime achievement in community leadership. His
daughter, Erika, is an accomplished artist who coordinates urban agriculture
outreach programs in Chicago.

Growing Power may well shoot its roots over to Toronto, so innovators will
want to hear what Will and Erika have to say about the lessons learned
through their work: the theme of their Friday talk. There will be lots of
time for questions and discussion. It's expected that a representative from
City Council will participate in the dialogue.

Hope to see you there!
