I talked with Gil prior to #Gaining2010 (that's how it's being "tagged" on Twitter and other online channels), to take place on October 4-7, 2010 in downtown Vancouver. Gaining Ground is one of the most important gatherings in BC – perhaps all of Western Canada – for professionals, government officials, elected officials, and sustainability advocates on topics related to "gaining ground" on sustainability practices. Much of the discussion is focussed on urban centres. I asked Gil how his work relates to communities (rural and urban) outside BC's metropolitan centres.
As an aside, if you can't make #Gaining2010, follow the tagged posts on Twitter. Just search for: #Gaining2010, and you'll find some interesting chatter. Last year's tweets provided a thoughtful and lively commentary on events as they were taking place, giving all of us a kind of condensed set of "notes" on the event. Here's a post I wrote after Day 1 of GG2009 using Tweets as my source.
