More interfaith climate change discussions are on the way in Nelson starting Friday.
Last year several churches in Nelson and Castlegar teamed up with the West Kootenay EcoSociety in the wake of the pope’s encyclical on climate change.
EcoSociety executive director Montana Burgess says it was very successful so they’ll do it again
