Our communications coordinator, Morag Mackenzie, met with MP Eric St-Pierre (@ericstpierre.bsky.social) to discuss the advancement of the 2030 Nature Strategy—a vital roadmap to safeguard ecosystems, support biodiversity, and strengthen community resilience across Canada. #protectnature

Over the course of two days, #NatureontheHill delegates met with more than 50 Members of Parliament and Ministers to advocate for stronger federal leadership on nature protection and biodiversity. We had the honour of meeting with MP Bruce Fanjoy @brucefanjoy.bsky.social #2030naturestrategy

Climate Caucus was proud to participate in Nature Canada’s (@naturecanada.bsky.social) 7th annual Nature on the Hill, joining more than 70 partners from across the country in Ottawa to ensure that protecting nature remains a top priority for Canada’s decision-makers.

Don Davies rising in the house of commons to share the #elbowsupforclimate message. It's time to invest in resilience. 🙌

Yesterday I met with the Elbows Up for Climate Coalition—a group of mayors warning about the rising costs of climate inaction. From wildfires to food prices, communities are struggling. It’s time to invest in resilience and put young Canadians to work building a sustainable future.

🌊 Big news from the west coast — the District of Tofino, will become the first municipalities in Canada to ban the sale of single-use plastic water bottles (1L and under).

250+ mayors and councillors are calling for a federal national resilience, response, and recovery strategy via the #ElbowsUpforClimate campaign. And they’re doing so with the majority of Canadians behind them: 80% support the creation of a national emergency management agency

Canadians are deeply concerned about the country’s #disasterpreparedness; 58% do not believe communities are ready for natural disasters, according to new polling commissioned by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

We need a coordinated plan to respond to climate disasters.
