Creating Change: How to be an Effective Advocate

Make your voice heard! Learn how to effectively participate in the public process of environmental review and create meaningful change in your community. 

 Every year, many major projects in our community are required to undergo environmental review to ensure they will not have negative impacts on our shared natural resources. A critical component of this process is public input through comments or public hearings. Join Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper on Thursday, October 11th from 6 pm – 7 pm for a free public workshop that will provide you with the tools you need to provide high quality, meaningful input into the projects that affect your community. In this workshop, you will learn to navigate the public process, develop effective methods for providing public comment, and hear about public process successes directly from local community groups.
