About
Can we take meaningful action on climate change without damaging our economy? For more than two decades, journalist and author Arno Kopecky has examined the difficult trade-offs that define our relationship with nature. Kopecky has travelled the globe reporting from the front lines of environmental change, asking uncomfortable questions about conservation, climate change, Indigenous rights, and energy. Rather than offering easy answers, he challenges us to think more deeply about what it really means to live sustainably. Arno Kopecky is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, The Guardian, The Narwhal, The Tyee, and many other publications. Please join the Salt Spring Forum in welcoming Arno Kopecky for the 2nd annual Derek Lundy Memorial Event, where we will discuss the complex political and ethical dilemmas raised by a global ecological crisis. $20 Members | $25 Public | Youth 19 and Under $5 BUY TICKETS

Stephen Cornish has spent a career saving lives around the world: managing humanitarian responses from Chechnya to Sierra Leone, negotiating with warlords to gain access to vulnerable populations, and securing the release of abducted aid-workers. Most recently, Stephen has served as the General Director of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Switzerland, responsible for providing more than $350 million of humanitarian assistance annually. A decade ago, Stephen took a break from MSF to serve as CEO of the David Suzuki Foundation, where he helped guide one of Canada’s most influential environmental organizations through a period of growing urgency around climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability. Please join the Salt Spring Forum in warmly welcoming Stephen Cornish, a humanitarian and environmental hero, who will join us for a wide-ranging conversation about the perilous state of the world—and why we must never give up. $20 Members | $25 Public | Youth 19 and Under $5 BUY TICKETS
