Climate Connections 2024: Connect, Celebrate, and Change

This year's Community Gathering builds on the insights gained from our first event last November and the many positive developments that followed. It will be a safe, inclusive day centered on building community and sparking hope, with a focus on practical actions in Northwestern Ontario and the power of unity. This event is an opportunity to connect, share ideas, and find comfort in the company of others who share your commitment to making a difference. Whether you come with family, friends, or as a newcomer, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, supported, and with new connections.

We are currently seeking volunteers to help make this day a success. Please consider contributing to our Kickstarter program by making a donation. Your support is crucial in helping us achieve our goals. Mark October 19 on your calendar and be part of this inspiring event!
