As temperatures rise and wildfires engulf our ancient forests, from Canada to Australia, THE GIANTS is a love letter to the trees. THE GIANTS explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this poetic yet high-octane portrait of Australian environmentalist and gay activist Bob Brown who harnessed people power to take green politics from the fringes to the centre of power to fight for the last ancient forests.  This award-winning documentary features breathtaking cinematography, other-worldly animation, and thought-provoking insights by Canada’s own David Suzuki and fungi expert Merlin Sheldrake (UK).   Epic and cinematic, THE GIANTS is an urgent masterclass in activism that inspires the audience to write the next chapter.  “Bob Brown is a real hero, a role model for young people. He's certainly a role model for me.” – David Suzuki

All out for Aamjiwnaang! Emergency rally November 7, 9:30 am, Queens Park, Toronto.

Aamjiwnaang has been in the State of Emergency following a Benzene spill in the community from a nearby petrochemical plant. As a result, the community is facing elevated risks of cancer, and profound mental health impacts. This is nothing new, for decades, Aamjiwnaang has had to live with the adverse health impacts of living alongside Ontario’s Chemical ally, where 40% of Canada’s chemical industry is concentrated producing elevated levels of harmful air pollutants. Yet the community has little say over how this industry impacts their health and ancestral lands, while the Crown continues to side with industry. This is the devastating impact of ongoing colonialism, genocide of Indigenous people and environmental racism.

Aamjiwnaang community members will be at Queens Park on November 7th demanding justice. Show up in solidarity!

This event is kid-friendly and open to all ages

Four-Part Webinar Series

Municipalities face significant challenges in advancing their climate initiatives due to several technical barriers. A lack of in-house expertise often hampers the ability to design and implement effective climate strategies, leaving gaps in critical areas of action. Furthermore, inadequate data on local climate impacts and greenhouse gas emissions complicates efforts to plan and monitor progress, reducing the effectiveness of climate actions. Additionally, many municipalities struggle with limited access to advanced technologies and infrastructure, which can slow the adoption of innovative climate solutions. 

Join us for this webinar as we explore these technical barriers and share examples of how municipalities are overcoming them to advance local climate action.

As offshore wind takes a bigger role in decarbonizing the US Northeast, and Canadian provinces and utilities eye growing electricity demand, leaders on both sides of the border must think holistically about the benefits of greater two-way electricity trade. In this webinar, experts will explore how bidirectional flows and interregional transmission capacity can unlock synergies between Canada’s clean energy sources, both existing and new, and emerging clean energy resources in the Northeast – all in an effort to support fossil fuel phaseout, address regional climate goals, and ensure an affordable, reliable power grid.

Climate change and human land-use changes are exerting enormous pressures on culturally important species and ecosystems, such as the salmon watersheds of western North America. These ecosystems are being rapidly transformed by rapid climate change as well as pressured by various industrial land-uses. This talk will share three vignettes of forward-looking science on climate change impacts and corresponding industry pressures. Sea-level rise is forecasted to inundate estuaries that are important nursery habitat for juvenile salmon with relevance to coastal development and restoration. Changing climates and forestry practices are warming stream temperatures and altering flow regimes that control salmon productivity and survival. On the other hand, glacier retreat is creating new rivers and lakes for salmon, but these nascent habitats are also the target of active mining exploration and development. Collectively, these examples showcase that there is urgent need for climate change action, and that forward-looking science such as this can inform proactive conservation and management actions that will increase the ability of these ecosystems to cope with climate change. This talk thus showcases local opportunities to increase climate resilience, with potential broader relevance to global challenges of climate change
