If the climate crisis teaches us anything, it’s that resilience begins close to home. From conserving green spaces that cool neighbourhoods, to fostering social networks that help us withstand fires, floods, and heat waves, the connections we nurture locally shape how well we adapt to a changing planet around the globe. Civic engagement and climate advocacy can no longer be understood as separate from each other – they are one and the same. Communities that learn, plan, and c

Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley, long a protected haven for wildlife and a green refuge for residents, is under threat.

By the time the leaves began to turn this fall, Canada’s climate promises had already started to wither. Since Prime Minister Mark Carney took office, the new federal government has in recent months gone on to repeal the carbon price for big polluters. It has paused the electric vehicle (EV) mandate and renewed public financing for fossil fuel exports under the guise of ‘economic security.’ It promised new liquefied natural gas (LNG) investments, cuts to federal programs and

What does climate action look like in your community? In New Westminster, British Columbia, it looks like everyday people opening their doors, gardens and electrical panels, all to help their neighbours envision a more sustainable future. This is the spirit that fuels the New Westminster Climate Action Hub: a group of residents committed to building a healthier, more climate-resilient city from the ground up. Since launching in 2024, the Hub has amassed nearly 32 members who

On September 20th, communities around the world are mobilizing to demand that our leaders pick a side: injustice, violence and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us. Climate Reality Project Canada is proud to stand alongside a broad coalition of national partners and join tens of thousands across climate, migrant and economic justice and anti-war movements in a united call for change. Together, we’re reminding decision-makers why they were elected: to

Canada’s 2025 wildfire season exposes the link between fossil fuel dependence, weak oversight and extreme fire events — underscoring the need for coordinated action to protect communities and secure a sustainable future. AT A GLANCE Canada’s wildfire crisis is fueled by fossil fuel dependence, creating hotter, drier conditions and longer fire seasons.

There’s a low industrial hum hanging in the air in Port Morien, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. It cuts through walls and windows, sinks into bedrooms and keeps people up at night. For over five years now, that droning noise has been the background to daily life in the small coastal communities around the Donkin underground subsea coal mine. The Donkin coal mine on a map. The Donkin mine, with tunnels extending beneath the Atlantic Ocean, has been plagued by safety issues and envir

The sounds of drums and voices rose above the noise of downtown traffic. On June 15, under a clear sky streaked with prairie sun, people gathered outside Calgary City Hall, some with hand-painted signs, some with children in tow, others wrapped in ribbon skirts and keffiyehs. Within a larger designated protest space filled with diverse groups, the Hands Off Our Water rally brought together Indigenous peoples from Treaty 7 territory, grassroots organizers, migrant justice acti

Over the last couple of weeks, wildfires have torn through communities across the Prairie provinces, triggering states of emergency, mass evacuations and unprecedented chaos as smoke and flames close in on homes, highways and cultural landmarks. Our thoughts are with the people of Manitoba as 28 active wildfires continue to burn across the province, forcing over 17,000 people to flee their homes in what is believed to be the province’s largest evacuation since 1997.

On a warm Sunday afternoon in Saskatoon, a different kind of welcome was waiting for Canada’s premiers and prime minister. Just hours before the First Ministers’ Meeting kicked off behind closed doors on June 1st, people began gathering by the river under the Vimy Memorial Bandstand. Little did the country's decision-makers know, a crowd of nearly 60 people would assemble just blocks away to call for a bold shift in direction. In less than a week (and with just two days’ noti
