On November 29th millions of people in cities, towns and villages around the world will be marching to demand real climate action from world leaders as they gather in Paris (November 30 to December 11, 2015) for the United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP21) setting targets for greenhouse gas reductions.
Here in Vancouver, the Climate March will take place starting with a rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery. BC Greens, including local byelection candidate Pete Fry (Vancouver-Mount Pleasant), will be taking part in this important global action, and we'd like to invite you to join us!
Don't forget to "green it up" if you can - don your green jacket, scarf, toque or mittens.

Protecting your health
BC Greens recognize that airborne illnesses and pollutants pose a significant health risk to everyone, especially the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, while caregivers, healthcare professionals, and support staff come into regular contact with vulnerable persons. When choosing venues, BC Greens prioritize outdoor spaces, and indoor spaces with good ventilation. In closed indoor spaces, we encourage attendees to wear well-fitting masks (N95, KN95, or KF94), especially during the respiratory-illness season.
Creating safe spaces
The BC Green Party is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal speaking opportunities. To support this commitment, all event attendees will be expected to follow the standards of our Safe Spaces Participant's Guide.
