As part of the Electrifying Canada’s School Bus Fleet: Challenges, Lessons Learned and Solutions conference, the Canadian Electric School Bus Alliance (CESBA) presents Advocating for Electric School Bus Adoption in Key Provinces – a webinar highlighting the work of organizations to advance electric school buses (ESBs) in their respective provinces.
The session will outline the challenges, successes, and unique approaches being taken in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia in regards to school bus electrification.
It will feature presentations by experts from Pollution Probe, the Pembina Institute, the Conservation Council of New Brunswick and the Ecology Action Centre, and a question period facilitated by Green Communities Canada.
The webinar will take place virtually on Tuesday, June 6 at 1pm ET and is open to all actors working to advance ESBs in their communities, especially non-profits, think tanks, and government stakeholders.
