At the Power Up! launch party at the Gladstone Hotel, PowerUP literally rolled out a green carpet as reporters quizzed guests on their latest projects and their commitment to stop global warming while paparazzi paparazzed.Green carpet guests at the Gladstone ranged from Charles Martin Smith, director of TIFF's closing gala film, Stone of Destiny to civil right lawyer, Clayton Ruby. Battlestar Galactica's "Chief" Aaron Douglas, handled the emcee duties as Berman-the founding exec director-rallied the packed bar with a twenty minute speech about the importance of putting and keeping climate change at the top of Canada's political agenda.
