About the event
On National Seniors Day, over 60 events are being held across Canada as part of Seniors for Climate day of action to demonstrate seniors’ growing concern about the impacts of climate change and their desire to rebuild a healthy environment for future generations.
Nelson: RBC bank on Baker St., 3-4 pm
Join the rally organized by the newly formed Kootenay Lakes Seniors for Climate, using rocking chairs outside of RBC bank. That location was chosen to point out a major cause of the climate emergency – the financing by banks of continued oil and gas exploration and pipelines. The rally will publicize the 'Seniors for Climate Pledge' and emphasize that governments need to realign their climate policies, including stopping subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, phasing out fracking and LNG, and speeding up the transition to green energy.
