Seniors Climate Caravans greet first day of Parliament/Patrick Connors poem

Instead of Bitterness

I will be grateful for my many blessings 
and the chance to share them with others.
I will choose peace and not be afraid
even when I am alone and vulnerable.
I will cry instead of being angry, and 
not hold on to every bad moment.
I will walk the way of softness.
 

A little while ago, we had Patricia Lane reach out to us about her involvement with the Seniors Climate Caravan, arranged by Seniors Climate Witness. On September 9th East and West Coast Climate Caravans started their journey to Ottawa, connecting with communities and climate supporters along the way.

Starting in Victoria, the Western Climate Caravan was led by David Suzuki in Vancouver on September 9, before travelling east through Kamloops, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Regina, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury, arriving in Ottawa on September 18th. The Eastern Climate Caravan picked up folks in Nova Scotia (CBC Article on Nova Scotia Caravan), Quebec, and Ontario, before arriving in Ottawa.

The mission of Seniors’ Climate Witness is simple; they are bringing together seniors, people of faith, and allies in a national climate witness to call on the Government of Canada to reject new fossil fuel pipelines, uphold its climate commitments, respect Indigenous rights, and invest instead in a safe, clean and livable future for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.

The Seniors Climate Caravan will be outside at the opening of Parliament on September 21st and wrap up on September 24th, but there is still time to support them. Click below to see the schedule, and importantly, please consider donating to their cause; every bit helps cover the many costs of making this act of resistance happen.

We must protect the land for future generations. Thank you to all of the seniors who are doing their part for Canada.

Spread the word, and get involved!
