September Marches and Demonstrations
It has been an incredible summer with climate impacts coast to coast to coast. Massive dislocation due to forest fires, and major flooding events. More than six times the area burned on average in the last ten years, and the summer’s not over yet. It’s a crucial time to raise our voices for climate action! And we have a full calendar of events in September to give you a place to raise your voice, with others. We invite everyone to get involved in a Global March to End Fossil Fuels action between Sept 15 and 17. Please scroll down for these opportunities - and join us!
Climate-concerned citizens call on voters to consider Climate Candidates
Toronto Mayor Climate Commitment Campaign
2023 City of Toronto Budget Deputations
ClimateFast has a long history of supporting climate action in the City of Toronto, through budget deputation trainings and other actions that play an important role in securing Council’s support for the TransformTO-Net Zero Strategy.
COP27 and Human Rights in Egypt
ClimateFast is deeply troubled by the fact that the COP 27 is being held in Egypt, an extremely repressive police state where the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly are harshly repressed and infractions are met with torture, incarceration and even death.
In those circumstances, ClimateFast doesn’t feel that Canada can be part of the much needed International climate negotiations leading to a successful, inclusive and participatory climate summit without bearing witness to and demanding the end of state repression of civil society in Egypt.
Questions for Toronto Municipal Election Candidates
Municipal elections will take place across Ontario on October 24, 2022.
Municipal elections are important! Local elections have the lowest participation of any elections in Canada, even though municipal policies have a huge impact on overall community well-being. Many people don’t realize that residents have more power to make change happen at the local level than at the provincial or federal levels, which are more heavily influenced by the vested interests of corporate lobbyists.
