The Ontario Council of Folk Festivals annual conference is a 4-day long music and networking extravaganza.  Held this year again at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Ottawa from the 14-17th of October, I will be attending this conference as a delegate representing the Ottawa Folk Festival, as well as participating as a panelist in this year’s discussion forum on Green Initiatives.  The folk festival community is one that is committed to reducing its ecological footprint and we hope that these discussions will allow all festival organizers to gain information on theories and practices that will allow us to collectively work towards the betterment of our environment through education and harm-reduction practices.
