It is time for Canada to step up. The government is heading in the wrong direction. We need climate action now!  SCAN! members across the country are meeting regularly at their MPs’ offices, to pressure them with seven critical climate solution demands. Seniors are gathering together locally to build communities of care, form relationships, and have fun. We will build consistent, persistent, and increasing pressure. In joining local CRRC actions, you and your neighbours will build the power we require for climate action, create momentum for needed change, and form a solid community network. 

Join Seniors at Your MP’s Office for Climate Action and Community Building 

Focus attention on the MP’s office (or appropriate location) in your community

On March 27, SCAN! Chapters joined in solidarity for the CRR Common Day of Action with:

• 14 riding actions
• over 130 people 
• 3 new ridings: Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke (Victoria), Nipissing-Timiskaming (North Bay) and Etobicoke Lakeshore (Toronto)
• Seniors Residence Action: Christie Gardens (Toronto): over 15 SCAN! members contacted their MP

The CRR Campaign is gaining ground, but much more is needed to turn the government around to real climate action. 

So far – 98 people in 35 ridings have sent a CRR letter to their MP.
This number needs to be higher to get the attention of our government.

Keep up the CRR Momentum!
Talk to your neighbours, friends, family, and passersby at CRR actions:
