Okanagan communities are on the front lines of climate change. We’ve endured worsening fires, continuous drought and extreme heat waves.

Join us on Wednesday, May 15 from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Kelowna Community Theatre for a spirited debate that will guide our community’s best path to a sustainable and resilient future.

The UBC Okanagan Debates series is designed to model civil discourse in a polarized world by bringing together renowned experts to discuss disputed and timely topics facing society.
