St. Anselm's Anglican Church hosts two speaker series each year to connect and inspire. In October our distinguished 'Earth & Spirit' speakers discuss issues that matter to you and the ecological world we live in.

On October 12th at 7:30pm we present Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada and its first elected Member of Parliament, representing Saanich-Gulf Islands in southern Vancouver Island. In 2005, Elizabeth was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of her decades of leadership in the Canadian environmental movement. She graduated from Dalhousie Law School and was admitted to the Bar in both Nova Scotia and Ontario. Elizabeth practiced law in Ottawa with the Public Interest Advocacy Centre prior to becoming Senior Policy Advisor to the federal minister of the Environment (1986- 1988). For seventeen years she served as Executive Director of the Sierra Club of Canada. A proud mother and grandmother, Elizabeth lives in Sidney, British Columbia. She is the author of eight books, including her most recent book Who we are: Reflections on my life and on Canada.

 

Each speaker will respond to questions following their talk; the evening will conclude with a reception and social opportunity to chat with the speaker.
