The Power of Local Action
Climate curious? Worried about the effects of climate change? Want to make a difference and don't know how to start? Meet climate activists and find out how to make real change.
This interactive event invites you to hear from people already engaged in local climate action. You'll hear from well-known climate activist Emmay Mah, followed by a panel of local climate activists. Then, take part in round table discussions facilitated by local organizations to learn what you can do in your neighbourhood, your city, and beyond.

Vincent Puhakka ► TTC Riders
Minh-Ly De Reboul ► Youth Climate Corps
Susan Bakshi ► Wards Project
Liisa Repo-Martel ►Artists for Real Climate Action (ARCA)
