Organized by: Georgia Strait Alliance — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/2710781566An all-ages neighbourhood walk, climate conversation, and community gathering.
What comes up for you when you think about the impacts of climate change on your neighbourhood and the places you love? What about the people you care about?
As our environments change, so do our relationships with the places we call home and the people we share them with. Yet finding opportunities to talk openly about these changes, the feelings they bring up, and what they mean for our families and communities isn't always easy.
Join us for Families in a Changing Climate, an afternoon of connection, reflection, and conversation about what it means to navigate a changing world together.
We'll begin with an all-ages neighbourhood walk facilitated by counsellor Erika Preece. Through a guided activity, we'll explore our relationships with familiar places, notice the changes happening around us, and reflect on the thoughts and feelings that emerge.
After returning to the Quadra Village Community Centre, we'll gather for a climate conversation circle facilitated by Erika. We'll also hear reflections and insights from Dr. Sarah Wiebe, whose research has explored the experiences of mothers navigating the climate crisis. Together, we'll make space to share our experiences, listen to one another, and consider how we can support each other through uncertain times. Childminding is available for this portion of the event, and infants are more than welcome to stick with caregivers :).
We'll also have light refreshments and unstructured time to meet neighbours, continue conversations, and build new community connections.
We hope you'll join us for an afternoon of reflection, connection, and community!
Presented by Georgia Strait Alliance as part of the Climate Justice Dialogue Series: Building community resilience for the times ahead.
