All five MPs in Waterloo Region are teaming up for this multi-constituency consultation.  We need you to commit now to attend this most important of consultations! 

We'll show our support for the People's Climate Plan. Organizers with the People's Climate Plan are calling for the national climate strategy that respects climate science and Canada’s commitments in the Paris Agreement, ensures a plan to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050, and enshrines justice for all workers and Indigenous communities.

On August 11th at 7pm the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), Citizen's Climate Lobby and Divest Waterloo are supporting our Waterloo region public consultation by hosting "Canadian Climate Solutions: What Should be in the National Climate Plan?" a public education event featuring an expert panel presenting cutting-edge research and policy recommendations related to the four main themes of the federal climate strategy.
