The Green Connection 2010 is staged in partnership with Green Enterprise Ontario. GEO envisions a sustainable society that balances the pillars of people (social equity), the planet (a healthy environment) and the economy (long-term prosperity), and commits to meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The Green Connection 2010 celebrates the opening of the second annual Community Power Conference staged by the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA). OSEA envisions an environment where every Ontarian is a conserver and generator of sustainable energy and its mission is to serve the Community Power sector including households, farms, First Nations, co-operatives and collaborative businesses, local distribution companies, municipalities, other institutions and non-Community Power partners: through advocacy, public outreach and capacity building.
