Meet outside CBC Building (541 Portage Ave)

After a summer of drought, wildfire smoke, and climate refugees from northern communities living in Winnipeg hotels, it should be obvious that this federal election needs to be about addressing the climate emergency. The day before the federal leaders debate for the upcoming election, let's bring the issue of climate change front and centre.

On September 8th at 5PM, we will demand emergency-level climate action. Join us to call on all federal parties to commit to:

stop building pipelines

stop funding fossil fuels

start investing in a Green New Deal

Similar actions will be happening on the same day in dozens of other communities across the country, echoing the same message: after a summer of wildfires, heat, and drought, we need transformative climate action now.

Public health protocol will be followed. Please wear masks and stay physically distant where possible. Bring signs and noisemakers (pots / pans / etc.)

Help spread the word on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
