Federal Pre-Election Town Hall on Climate Change
The federal election will take place in October of 2015. As the date approaches, it is necessary for young adults to speak up and change Canada’s attitude toward climate change mitigation that has put the futures of its youth at risk.
Climate Impact Network partnered with non-profit organizations and educational institutions across Canada to deliver the voices of its people to Canada’s government this past March 2nd, 2015 at the University of Toronto St. George campus.
With the support of over 38 nonprofit co-hosts of the town hall across Canada and with Dalhousie and UBC skyping into the town hall, the town hall featured representatives from the NDP, Green, and Liberal parties of Canada.
As a follow up to the town hall, CIN is requesting a leaders' debate on climate change to be hosted by a major Canadian media station in the coming months.
