Seniors' Climate Witness: Year-End Gathering
Seniors' Climate Witness (SCW) is a growing network of older Canadians taking nonviolent action to protect the climate and secure a safe, healthy future for our children, grandchildren, and all living beings.
In September 2026, we organized a cross-country caravan from Victoria to Ottawa, stopping in 18 communities along the way to gather stories and photos of Canadians concerned about climate change. In Ottawa, 17 seniors were arrested in two peaceful civil disobedience actions calling on the federal government to reject new oil pipelines and invest instead in a sustainable future. Our actions attracted national media coverage and inspired people across Canada.
Now we're building on that momentum!
Join us for a friendly, informal year-end gathering in Victoria to:
- Celebrate our successful Caravan and Ottawa actions.
- Look ahead to planned nonviolent climate actions in BC in January 2027, opposing the proposed Pacific Link oil pipeline.
- Connect with other seniors and supporters who care about protecting our climate and are interested in taking action.
Whether you've participated in SCW activities before or are simply curious about getting involved, you're warmly welcome. No previous activism experience is necessary, and there's no obligation to participate in future actions.
