First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg

The Green Action Committee's purpose is to engage cooperatively with other committees and members of the congregation to make our church a greener place by enhancing our congregational and individual awareness and practices, and to make our church a catalyst for environmentally sustainable change in the broader community.

On July 13th the Green Action committee cosponsored a public forum at our church together with the Council of Women of Winnipeg and the Provincial Council of Women of Manitoba. The topic was a hot one in Winnipeg. The city was proposing to turn the Water and Waste Department into a stand-alone Municipal Corporate Utility and proposing that a public\private partnership be established to design, build and operate a waste water treat plant. The church agreed to let the groups use the sanctuary without cost. The event was publicized through many lists. We expected a good response and got one. Fortunately all of the chairs were set out. We needed them. Well over 200 people attended.
