They’re back in court on November 12 to defend the Kichi Sibi and our watershed from a nuclear waste megadump! Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County and Area, Kebaowek First Nation, Sierra Club Canada and the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility took Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to court and WON . . . but CNL has appealed.

JOIN US as CNL’s appeal is heard, and citizen groups and First Nations again argue before a judge why the law must be respected.

A judge said that Environment Canada should not have issued a “Species at Risk Permit” for the radioactive waste dump to be built on CNL’s chosen site near the Ottawa River, where it will destroy habitat for protected and endangered species. CNL is a creation of and funded by the federal government – so it’s the feds fighting citizens in Federal Court.
Join us from Noon to 2 PM in front of 90 Sparks St. Do it for the endangered bats, songbirds, turtles, Eastern wolves and bears living on the site of the future radioactive megadump!

Join Indigenous Climate Action for a deep-dive webinar on Bill C-5 and what it means for Indigenous communities, climate policy, and so-called Canada’s climate commitments heading into COP30.

This teach-in brings together Indigenous leaders and advocates to unpack how the government’s idea of “Building Canada” actually just maintains extractive, colonial systems – and redwashes the whole thing through structures like the “Indigenous Advisory Council.”

Through open discussions and critical reflections, we’ll explore how Bill C-5 connects to Canada’s climate commitments, both nationally and internationally in spaces like COP30. Register now to be part of this important conversation about justice, sovereignty, and the future of climate action in so-called Canada.

The Bike Bus is more than a ride to school, it is a joyful movement that shows what our cities can look like when we design streets through the eyes of children. By replacing car lines with community-powered rides, Bike Buses give kids independence, families connection, and neighborhoods new life. This presentation will explore how the Bike Bus has grown from a local idea into a global movement, why it resonates so deeply with families and city leaders, and how it offers a simple yet powerful blueprint for creating safer, healthier, and more inclusive streets for everyone.

You must register in advance to participate in this workshop—spots are limited!

Join us for an evening workshop from 1 PM to 3 PM at Vincent Massey Park as part of Art in the Park—a series of outdoor sessions that blend art-making, climate emotion dialogue, and nature connection. This workshop offers a supportive, welcoming space for youth to explore their feelings about the climate crisis through creative expression, storytelling, and community care.

This session focuses on��cyanotype printmaking, a hands-on photographic process using sunlight, natural materials, and pre-coated paper to create vivid blue-toned prints. We’ll begin by exploring the park and collecting items—like leaves, twigs, and textured materials—to use in our prints. Participants will then arrange their compositions and expose them to sunlight, watching the images develop in water and optional tea toning baths.

No prior experience is needed. All materials will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own small objects or natural materials to include in your piece.

This project has been made possible with mentorship support from @youthclimatelab and the��Nature for Everyone, Everywhere��program of @cpawsov. Thank you to @experiencehowl for funding this initiative!

To address climate change and climate justice, it is essential that policies and solutions target the persistent drivers and underlying causes of the crisis.

Through the , Indigenous Climate Action has investigated the problems of climate change, how it is exacerbating existing challenges in our communities and how colonial capitalism is not only driving the crises but erecting barriers to our own solutions.

In 2023 Indigenous Climate Action released Part 1 of the Phase 2 report exploring the role policy plays in upholding colonial capitalism. Now Indigenous Climate Action are gearing up to release Part 2, reclaiming policy as our own and exploring how it can serve our own transformative, decolonial goals.

Join Indigenous Climate Action for the official report launch and powerful discussion where we will nurture a deeper understanding of how “Land Back” can fundamentally reshape climate policy.
