SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - The Binational Public Advisory Council and Lake Superior State University Biology Department invite the public to its fifth annual Environmental Summit to discuss the status of the St. Mary's River area environment.
The summit will be held from 5 to 9 p.m., on Nov. 10, in LSSU's Cisler Center.
"Each year, the summit brings together units of government, government agencies, citizens' groups, and individual residents from both sides of the river to review the status of environmental conditions and to discuss opportunities to work together to further improve our shared environment," said Gregory Zimmerman Ph.D. of LSSU's Biology Department.
The summit starts with an information fair at which local environmental groups and agencies display their activities, show how individuals can get involved with those groups and provide a chance to talk one-on-one with group leaders.
The second part of the summit is an open discussion session led by a panel of speakers. This year's topic is "A Sustainable Sault."
Any group interested in reserving space for the information fair should contact Lora Premo in the BPAC Resource Office, stmarysriver@lssu.edu. There is no charge for display space.
