Green Mobility Forum
Thinking Outside the Car

Acadia University, Wolfville, NS

Join us May 21-22, 2008 in Wolfville to launch sustainable transportation

The TRAX program of the Ecology Action Centre and Transport 2000 Atlantic,
with support from Conserve Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Health Promotion and
Protection, and Environment Canada, are pleased to invite you to the Green
