Dan Burden comes to town

FREE PUBLIC LECTURE new!

Active in Action: New principles for a sustainable world
April 21, 7 pm
Venue: SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver BC
Admission is free; as seating is limited, reservations are required. Reserve at www.sfu.ca/reserve

How do we take the principles of active living, combine them with active transportation and expand our ideas and concepts to achieve a fully sustainable world?  An ambitious question – and one that Dan Burden takes on in a new and fresh presentation.

Dan is an internationally recognized authority on active transportation, livability and sustainability, with 38 years of experience. He will illustrate implementation strategies for all sizes of communities, from those wanting to remain rural in character to those that are highly urban, with examples from Bogota to Abu Dhabi.

Sponsored by BC Recreation and Parks Association, Bombardier Foundation and the Active Transport Lab at the University of British Columbia and SFU City Program. Web: http://www.sfu.ca/city/fpl5popup.htm
