Join Climate Caucus for an exciting online event, Engaging Marginalized Communities in Municipal Climate Planning, on Wed Jan 10, 2024 at 11AM-12PM PT | 2PM-3PM ET.
At this event you are invited to listen to individuals with lived experience of marginalization (newcomers, BIPOC folks etc.) from diverse backgrounds to discuss and address the challenges faced by marginalized communities in accessing community engagement. The panel includes three speakers from the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition and is facilitated by Sharmarke Dubow, former Victoria City Councillor. Hearing from people with diverse, lived experiences leads to better climate planning and stronger support for climate initiatives.
Additionally, Megan MacLean, Program Manager of the Climate Action Team at the City of Toronto, and Danielle Johnston, Manager of Democratic Engagement at the City of Vancouver will share their insights and experiences in engaging marginalized communities in climate-related initiatives. Through an engaging discussions, we will explore innovative strategies and best practices to ensure inclusivity and equal representation in climate planning processes.
