If the global climate movement is a mycelial network, then parents, grandparents, and caregivers are some of its mother trees.

A donation to For Our Kids is an investment in our movement’s mother trees.

Canada-Alberta MOU a Disappointing Retreat on Oil & Gas Methane Regulation - CAPE Groups who are concerned about the climate and health impacts of methane pollution issued the following statement:  At a time when we need to move faster on climate, it is disappointing to see Canada tapping the brakes. Oil and gas is responsible for the largest share of Canada’s emissions, and it is the industry whose emissions are rising fastest. Methane is the least expensive and easiest way to reduce these emissions at scale. It is extremely disappointing to see that Canada is failing to ...

Getting to the train station in Montreal via metro with a suitcase 🧳. Ce n'est pas évident. Broken escalators, up some stairs, down some stairs. Turning doors, no automatic doors. Imagine wheelchair users 👩‍🦼or single parents with strollers 👶. Let's do better

With a kid in Grade 5 going to open houses. We're only looking at public and are lucky to have access to both French and English schools, but my kid is likely to start at a high school where he knows very few other kids if any. Letting him run wild with the neighbourhood kids while he can
