The Kamloops Energy Fair is a trade show and exhibition
featuring information, products, and services related
to sustainability. The first Fair in May of 2007 was a
big success, gathering 30 exhibitors and an audience of
1500 people with very favourable feedback from both groups.
The second Fair will be bigger and better. The focus is
on Energy: demonstrating how consumers can become more
sustainable in their energy use, through energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and energy conservation.
The Fair provides a venue for local businesses to showcase
their products and for non-profit organizations to promote
sustainability.
