Gordon Terrace Cranbrook, BC to St Martin's, Cranbrook Devon, UK

On Sunday January 13, we posted a piece titled 'Cranbrook Brand New'
http://livablecranbrook.blogspot.ca/2013/01/cranbrook-brand-new.html

This brand new sustainable community is being built in Devon UK. 

The vision for Cranbrook is to create a self-sufficient, low carbon new community in close proximity to skilled employment opportunities, encouraging people to use sustainable modes of transport and to reduce the need for them to travel between work and home by car.

As a way to share ideas in sustainability and to create learning opportunities for students in two schools in different countries, the Principal of Gordon Terrace Elementary, Cranbrook BC, Michelle Sartoral and Principal, Tania Beard of St. Martin's Primary School Cranbrook, Devon have agreed to partner in facilitating some student correspondence.

Both Principals were invited to speak to one another via the phone lines of CBC on Monday January 21st.  To listen to what they had to say click on this link and allow a minute or to for the sound file to open.
