Here is a multi-media presentation, exploring two paths facing the Okanagan. One path leading to economic prosperity that embraces ecological sustainability and another that degrades the surrounding ecosystem and economic opportunities afforded by place.
This video was developed as part of a larger collaborative initiative spear headed by local Okanagan business leaders called the Okanagan Competitiveness Strategy: http://limnology.ca/okanagan/Final%20Report%203.0.pdf
A PowerPoint (pdf) review of the overall strategy is posted here: http://limnology.ca/okanagan/competitiveness.pdf

Dr. Griffin
Dr. Bjornlund
Dr. Janmaat
