Last night I attended my first Green Drinks. Green Drinks is a monthly event that happens on the third Wednesday of every month at Riley’s Pub here in Peterborough. People from throughout the city and beyond gather for drinks, socialize and chat about the issues of the day, environmental and otherwise.

This month’s event, was a bit different as it was held at the offices of Green Communities Canada, of which Green-Up is a founding partner. I showed up not knowing a soul there, other then a few of my Green-Up co-workers that also attended, and left knowing a lot of new people….I have to admit the wine was good too.

I left with some great contacts and even story ideas for my Green Update segment that airs on CHEX-TV’s NEWSwatch every Monday at 5:30. I encourage everyone to attend Green Drinks! Just meet anytime after 5 at Riley’s.
