SS Forum: Kent Rathwell

SS Forum Presents: Kent Rathwell, President of Sun Country Highway Opening reception at 6:30 pm hosted by The Country Grocer, who is generously helping to sponsor this event.

Sustainability superhero Kent Rathwell is challenging and changing the Canadian business model. Through his company, Sun Country Highway, Rathwell built a Canada-wide network of free electric charging stations (including chargers on Salt Spring) to support the electric vehicle movement. Then, he made the cross-country journey in an electric vehicle during the middle of winter to prove it could be done.

Rathwell also built a successful birdseed business – Sun Country Farms – the first zero-emission company in Saskatchewan and the most sustainable birdseed company in the world.

Please join the Salt Spring Forum in a wide-ranging conversation with Kent Rathwell – about the environment, entrepreneurship, electric vehicles and sustainable farming.
