Seniors for Climate: Day of Action, October 1st, 2024
Seniors for Climate is a group of seniors deeply alarmed by the climate crisis. Their goal is to build a cross-Canada community of seniors working urgently towards climate action for a livable future for their children and grandchildren. With more than 10-million seniors in Canada, making up 30% of a (very active) voting population, their ability to guide and shift political policy is significant.
October 1st is Canada’s National Seniors Day. On this day, Seniors for Climate groups in more than 50 Canadian cities will host events to demonstrate their growing concern about climate breakdown and the need to rebuild a healthy environment for future generations.
Eco-Elders, a node of the Calgary Climate Hub, will be hosting the Calgary event at City Hall Plaza on October 1st from from 11am to 2pm. Activities include music, speeches, a flash mob, and information tables about climate and renewable energy.
