You're invited to join us in serving our community with a clean-up at Saanich Gorge Park, plus a discussion with BC Green leader Sonia Furstenau about protecting our environment.
Sonia will speak about the urgent actions needed to address the climate crisis in BC and what we can all do to support change. Please join us for the discussion with Sonia at 6:30 and then we will get started on the park clean-up.
Supplies will be provided such as garbage bags and gloves, but if you have your own gloves, we recommend bringing those. Please feel free to bring any additional tools with you. We will be gathering near the picnic area of Saanich Gorge Park. Our goal will be to collect as much trash as possible around the area.
Masks are recommended when in large gatherings and social distancing will be required where possible.

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.
