Climate Justice
Thursday, October 8, 2009 (All day)
On October 24th, join thousands of people in Vancouver demanding Canada be a world climate leader.
On October 24th over 1,700 events will take place in 141 countries calling for their governments to take meaningful action on climate change. This December world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to discuss the future of the Kyoto Protocol—the international treaty to reduce the greenhouse gases which cause global warming.
Climate change is already having a profound impact on our environment, our economy, and our society, and the impact is growing. Around the globe people are mobilizing to meet these challenges. It’s time for Canada to do its part. We must make sure that we leave no one behind in building a climate-friendly world.
On October 24th, let’s get together and send our leaders a message: it’s time for real climate action. Let’s build a greener world for everyone.
It's time for a parade! At 11 am the Cambie Bridge is open to the public. At Noon there will be a welcoming ceremony and call for action at the peak of the bridge,and at 12:30 we'll start the parade down Pacific Boulevard to Science World.
At 2 pm, after the parade, we'll come together at Science World for workshops, food, performance, movies and more.
At 7 pm, head over to Christ Church Cathedral for inspirational speakers.
To get involved in this event and our campaign to deal with causes of climate change please join our Action List.
