If YOU were Prime Minister, what would you do for the environment? David Suzuki wants to know, and he's embarking on a cross-Canada election-style campaign to find out. The objective of the tour is for Canadians to give David Suzuki their united voice for political action on the environment and to inspire people to take action, both on a community level and politically.

David Suzuki’s tour will be making a stop in Regina, Wednesday, February 21st at 7pm, in the Education Auditorium at University of Regina. His appearance will be accompanied by Lyle Whitefish and Dr. Glenn Sutter. An EcoFair will start at 5:30 infront of the education auditorium to promote businesses and organizations that offer environmentally friendly products, services and programs.

There will also be a chance for you to voice your opinion on video! The David Suzuki Foundation will set up a venue for people to make 20-second "If YOU were Prime Minister..." videos and upload them to the tour's Youtube group through davidsuzuki.org.
