Are you passionate about environmental justice? Ready to take action?

Join us for the launch of Solidarity Talks — a new virtual webinar series hosted by The ENRICH Project and The CCECJ to amplify calls to action regarding environmental racism and climate vulnerabilities in Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities.

These webinar sessions will educate and shed light on pressing issues that we believe require the united support of our network.
Each session isn’t just a discussion — it’s an opportunity to turn knowledge into action. Hear from powerful guest speakers who will share targeted calls to action, empowering you to create meaningful change after the event.

Thank you to everyone who signed the petition, attended the community meetings, shared information, provided drives, work, research, wrote letters, called, engaged on social media, made signs, and showed up! We did this together! 2O days ago our community was blindsided they were told it was a done deal. We united and fought together and demanded that we be seen, heard and respected. Generationally we did that! Tonight some of us walked in a snow squall through unploughed streets and sidewalks to witness the fruits of our community’s labor, this iconic moment!

Tonight at the special meeting to rescind the previous vote to accept ward one Brother street as the LTC site council revoted and in a Unanimous VOTE removed our site from their “sight” ! We did it community! We saved our community recreation and green space. Time to create your own visions for your future and community. Time to build emancipatory futures 🙏🏾💜
