As part of National Forest Week, the Nature Conservancy of Canada invites you to find out Why Forests Matter. A diverse array of speakers, from artists to CEOs of major corporations, will come together to discuss the current state of our forests, how they influence our society, and, most importantly, why they matter. The lineup includes Sophia Rabliauskas (Spokesperson for the Pimachiowin Aki), Diana Thorneycroft (artist), Charles Spearin (The Happiness Project/Broken Social Scene), Ian Gray (MMM Group Limited), Carla Grant (Ontario Forestry Association), Karen Clarke-Whistler (TD Bank Group), and Dan Kraus (Nature Conservancy of Canada).
