Take Back UBCM: Climate Justice Planning Meeting

This September, the Union of B.C. Municipalities will bring together thousands of local elected officials, staff, and provincial ministers in Victoria. It’s the biggest gathering of municipal power in the province — and it’s bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry. Gas companies are paying to sponsor the conference, host banquets, and cozy up with decision-makers, all while pushing to keep communities hooked on fracked gas.

We think it’s time to show up with a different message! Local governments should be leading the way on climate solutions — not giving corporations a social license to pollute.

We are planning two actions to take place during UBCM. One supporting climate champions and one calling out the influence Fortis, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and TC Energy have over municipal politics. 

Next meeting is Wednesday, September 10th at 6:30 https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85915017400?pwd=ZehJaThMUVIUVSzGM1dV7BMaujFurK.1
