Toronto Under Ice

Hello Everyone,

I’ve arrived at the Global Methane Forum…apparently a feat not easy to accomplish this past weekend.  The weather systems that spawned tornadoes across the Midwest also dumped a lot of snow, hail and frozen rain in Toronto this weekend, causing much havoc.

My Saturday morning flight on American Airlines was cancelled, but they got me on an Air Canada red-eye flight out of LAX which managed to land in Toronto, albeit 2-hours late.  Not many attendees were so lucky, many have been delayed to at least Tuesday or Wednesday.  Today was mostly a few small closed-door meetings, and the clean technology showcase.  I’ve been here at the tech showcase since 8:00 am and had only 4 people talk to me.  The day is almost over, so I thought I would blog about it.  Most of the important meetings are happening Tuesday and Wednesday, and by then many more participants will have trickled in.

I didn’t have time to get a professional floor sign made before I came, and I forgot to print a simple sign before I left, so I was forced to improvise.  It came out OK, but I’ll get a portable floor sign made for any future conferences.  The sign I made in my hotel room is a little Mickey-Mouse…you be the judge!

Anyways Day 1 of the conference is almost over, I’ve meet a few attendees from private consulting firms and both US and Canadian governments.  (The EPA folks drove up from Washington after all their flights were cancelled, but for some reason Scott Pruitt didn’t join them…)  I hope to meet a lot more of the attendees over the next few days.

Best Regards – Dave
