Orillia Climate Strike 2023

On Friday, September 15th, 2023, we joined the more than half a million people in every continent across the world mobilizing for climate action. We are all here for one reason: to end fossil fuels around the planet.

Thank you to the nearly 100 people who took to the streets with us for this intergenerational mobilization.

The science is resoundingly clear—coal, oil and gas are responsible for the #ClimateEmergency. We’re putting unparalleled pressure on world leaders to make a decision—people or profit? We need a just transition away from fossil fuels, towards a renewable and equitable future.

Watch the recording below to hear from youth speakers Christina Petsinis, Shaelyn Wabegijig, Yiming Israel, Max McKenzie, Elora DeWolf Smith, Madeleine Fournier & Kate Sontag.

Thank you to additional youth organizers: Amy Thompson, Jessica Winchester, Jacqueline Winchester, Anna Bivol, Haven Hache, Jacob Kearey-Moreland, Jamie Proctor, and Celeste Lalumiere.
