Jim Hoggan at UWO

onOct 25, 2006 @ 07:33 PDT

Continuing with his speaking tour, Jim speaks today at the University of Western Ontario, in London, ON.

Western is a great university, with a highly regarded business school that pumps a lot of Canada’s top executives out into the world. That’s why I’m delighted that he’s bringing the DeSmogBlog message to Western – because if we’re going to bring about the change we need in this world, we need the leaders of the business community on-side. I hope that the ripples from this talk, and from our work with this site, trickle out and start to make people think differently.

Special thanks go to Amanda Grzyb in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies for organizing this event. We hope to see some readers there!
