Timed for the opening of Parliament, the week of September 19, seniors, people of faith, and allies from across Canada will travel in caravans to gather in Ottawa for Seniors’ Climate Witness.
We call on the Government of Canada to:
- Reject any federal funding or support for new fossil fuel pipelines and related infrastructure and respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Canada's commitments to reconciliation.
- Reaffirm Canada's commitment to meeting its climate targets by accelerating the transition to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate resilience.
- Meet with representatives of the campaign—including seniors, Indigenous leaders, youth, and faith representatives—to discuss how Canada can better protect present and future generations from the growing impacts of climate change.
The aim is to encourage the federal government to reject new publicly funded fossil fuel pipelines and strengthen Canada 's climate commitments by investing in a clean, affordable and just low-carbon future. Seniors’ Climate Witness will engage in actions intended to draw national media attention, and to heighten public awareness.
