Speakers Needed for CapU Veganism Course

Question

Hi all,
As many of you may already know, a new course on Veganism and Sustainability will be starting this fall term at Capilano University in Vancouver, Canada. As its instructor, I am looking for speakers who have an angle related to the intersection of veganism and Ethics, Environment and Health. I pretty much have all the speakers I need on Ethics-related issues, and am now looking for people qualified to talk about Health/Environmental issues related to veganism. Ideally you will talk for 20 to 30 minutes and be prepared to be either filmed or voice recorded so that students can reference your ideas after the talk. The talk will also be used as a springboard for a debate/discussion that will immediately follow it, and it would be great to have to take part in such a discussion. Please let me know if you are interested!!!
Thanks, Nick

Hi Nick -- I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, a Certified Plant-Based Chef and a Food For Life instructor based in Powell River, B.C. For the past 4 years I have been running a business called Plant-Based R.H.N. with which I provide community WFPB nutrition and cooking education. Aside from my community classes I work with a local physician, providing classes for her patients, do wellness workshops with local businesses and I have worked with the local schools as well. I am extremely passionate about sharing all the benefits of a WFPB lifestyle, and helping people to see the power they can have over their own health, as well as to help the environment and promote compassion by making different food choices. I would love to be a speaker for your program if you are still looking...you can check out the work I do at www.plantbasedrhn.com and www.facebook.com/plantbasedrhn. Advocacy is such an important part of all of this, and I am currently trying to organize a speaker series for the Sunshine Coast for 2020, which is how I found this posting. I'd love to talk to you more about that too. I'll look forward to hearing back from you and connecting. -- Emma
