Seniors For Climate Inaugural Event

Tuesday, October 1, 2024

12:00 noon – 1:00 pm

Davis Bay Pier, Sechelt

Seniors For Climate is a new national organization of Canadian seniors who are alarmed at the tepid pace that our respective governments, at all levels, are addressing the climate crisis.  Seniors for Climate has chosen October 1st, Canada’s National Seniors’ Day and the International Day of Older Persons to launch its inaugural presence on the national stage.

Here on the Sunshine Coast three organizations, the Alliance 4 Democracy, the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association and the Sunshine Coast Sue Big Oil campaign are joining forces with Seniors For Climate to stage our local inaugural event on Tuesday, October 1st at the Davis Bay Pier in Sechelt from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. 

The event will feature speakers from each of the sponsoring organizations and music. All three provincial candidates have been invited to address the event: Chris Hergesheimer – BC Greens, Chris Moore – BC Conservatives and Randene Neill – BC NDP.

The goal of Seniors for Climate is to mobilize Canada’s seniors, who are now 25% of our population and the most significant voting block across the country, to use our collective power to insist that all of our governments substantially step up the pace to both address the root cause of climate change – the burning of fossil fuels – and mitigate the increasingly devastating and costly impacts of climate change – extreme weather events, melting ice fields and rising sea levels and adverse health outcomes.
