**Seniors 4 Climate Action, 1 October event at The Forks, Winnipeg, and ongoing action.
The Prairie to Pine Executive has endorsed this event at the request of Seniors 4 Climate Action and also recommends that the members of the Region look at their site.
“We are seniors deeply alarmed by the climate crisis. Our goal is to build a cross Canada community of seniors to create a livable future. We need faster and better climate action. The Expo will be an opportunity to meet and have discussions with Winnipeg seniors and to browse 30 exhibits providing all kinds of solutions to help us all move forward. Our event is one of 60 planned across the country by Seniors for Climate.”
Please watch for those events. Additional information is available in this great short video promoting the events and seniors’ participation in the movement; and at Seniors 4 Climate and Consider Climate Manitoba.
