[Sust-mar] Bruce Cockburn, Pat Mooney at Truro Real Food, Farming and Flowers Weekend! March 7, 8

[Kathryn Anderson]

I wrote to the organizers and asked them to re-format the Truro event. They
have sent me this, which I hope is in a format that can be circulated. It
also includes an event Sat. night in Halifax and a seminar at NSAC on
Monday.

Many thanks

Kathryn Anderson
