Delegation to Thunder Bay – February 24-27, 2010

Duluth Sister Cities International (DSCI) has scheduled the “Sustainable Thunder Bay” Official Visit for February 24‐27. Last fall, a delegation of Duluthians and one Thunder Bay delegate traveled to our Sister City, Växjö, Sweden, which has been given the title “The Greenest City in Europe”. The Delegation learned about the sustainability practices of Växjö. As a result of that exchange, the interest of a delegation going to Thunder Bay to learn about their sustainable practices evolved.
