Thanks Julian for the message. It's great to see that the ACGA is holding
an event that combines community engagement in 'greening' with diversity and
culture, and in Toronto.
I am sure that many CLICK4HP readers would like to know more, and possibly
to contribute to the event - however the posting did not have a date for
either the conference or the 'call for presentations', and no website link
for more information.
If anyone is posting information about events, calls for abstracts or
papers, or resources - please provide date, location and website link for
further information.
Having done an Internet search, found the AGCA website and conferences
section - http://www.communitygarden.org/conf/index.html - the page
indicates that the conference is taking place in Toronto October 1 - 3 2004.
There is also a PDF with information on the Call for Presentations - see
http://www.communitygarden.org/conf/CallforPresentations_04.pdf

Subject: American Communtiy Gardening Association Call for Presentations
The American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) is a non-profit
organization of professionals and volunteers who seek to promote community
gardening and greening to improve the quality of life.
Each year, our conference gathers people from all over North America and
other parts of the world who are engaged in all aspects of gardening and
greening activities.
This conference offers a unique opportunity to share challenges and
solutions and to learn from each other.
The conference includes panel discussions, keynote speakers, hands-on
workshops, and visits to botanical sites and community gardens.
This year's conference theme, "Gardens of Diversity, Growing Across
Cultures" is especially significant for Toronto, one of the world's most
diverse cities. Join us in celebrating that diversity as we honour the
ACGA's 25 years of promoting community gardening.
Your contribution will help to create a future in which every community
blooms!
