Nine members of the EWB Western attended the 2005 EWB National Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. The conference was a resounding success.

Delegates studied impact models, examined case studies, heard about numerous ongoing projects and were even treated to a heated debate on ‘Fair Trade’ from representatives of the Frasier Institute and Oxfam. An address by Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, former Canadian Foreign Minister and Noble Peace Prize nominee, closed the conference and helped to generate the excitement that the Western delegates have now brought home to London.

The electric atmosphere generated by the 22 university chapters is now in the process of being applied. EWB Western will continue to increase their presence on campus.  Keep an eye open for all the events that this dynamic chapter will be bringing you in the following months.
