Patricia, That'd be TCLocal.org.
Jon, who started the relocalization work in this region, and I have been around for the past almost three years and have met you and other sustainers many times. The 2050 series comes to you courtesy Simon St. Laurent, one of our long-time members and a presence in Dryden. Tom is also a TCLocal member, as is Kate Quinn-Jacobs and a few others you may not know. Thanks for asking.
