On October 24th, join thousands of people in Vancouver demanding Canada be a world climate leader.
Climate change threatens the world’s wild places and wild species. We are already seeing dramatic changes in our world’s climate. We’ve seen the massive die-off of pine and spruce forests in western Canada, rapidly spreading desertification in Africa and the loss of sea ice in the Arctic. Our planet needs action now.
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.
On October 24th, let’s get together and send our leaders a message: it’s time for real climate action. Let’s tell our governments to stand up for our wild places, for our families, for our future.
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.

I came from Spain to volunteer @ the Seton Portage Aboriginal Farm and Trail Project near Lillooet, BC. I spent my days either working on the Indian Reserve Community Farm, or helping re-open ancient First Nation Trails in the Wilderness. I intended to spend only 2 weeks but instead stayed for a month! What a WILD place! Thanks for the opportunity!
