The Robertson Building

We do appreciate a good brush with celebrity now and again, especially when said star is working to save the planet. This January Sustainability Network (Suite 128) and Lake Ontario Waterkeeper co-hosted Guardians of the Lake: An Evening with Gord Downie and Lake Ontario Waterkeeper Mark Mattson. The event was a presentation and discussion around the organization's efforts to win back clean water and ensure lake communities have access to environmental justice.

The evening included a performance by Gord Downie, the honoured guest and lead vocalist for Canadian institution The Tragically Hip.

The Sustainability Network acts as a support system for non-profit groups and environmental organizations by providing opportunities like this for information and exposure.
