Bill C-311: Act Now!
Help
ensure that Canada takes action to tackle the climate crisis.
Contact Members of Parliament and ask them to pass Bill C-311 (the
Climate Change Accountability Act) as soon as possible. Despite last
weeks delay, with political will, this Bill could be voted on before
the Summit in Copenhagen is over.
Passing Bill C-311 before international climate
talks in Copenhagen will send a clear message to the world - Canada is
ready to take climate change seriously.
TAKE ACTION!

Climate Justice Speaking Tour
The Climate Justice Tour with Rahul Bose and Christina Ora
was
a great success! Rahul and Christina toured major swing ridings
around Toronto and Vancouver to speak about climate change impact on
South Asia and island nations. They also spoke about the Canadian
Government's weak position on climate change, and what we in Canada can
do to take action. Check out some of the pictures below from the
tour, and for more information and pictures, click here!

Message from Graham Saul, Executive Director of Climate Action Network Canada:
I
would like to sincerely thank everyone that took part in our Annual
General Meeting this year. I find myself increasingly impressed by the
breadth of our membership, and more importantly our ability to
constructively work together. I am humbled by the quality of
organizations and people involved in this network, and I believe the
next year is going to be an exceptional one for us. No doubt it will be
full of challenges, but also defining moments and the incredible
potential to come together to affect change.
Thank you all again for your ongoing hard work,
