Climate Action Provincial Assembly

West Coast Climate Action Network      15 Apr 2023      Online event      Partner/affiliate event

The CAPA is an opportunity for climate advocates and activists in B.C. to share our campaigns and cooperate together to make them stronger.

Craving connection with fellow climate activists across so-called B.C.? Want a sense of momentum and cohesion in our movement?

West Coast Climate Action Network (WE-CAN)’s 4th Climate Action Provincial Assembly (CAPA) will be an opportunity to meet fellow climate activists and members of climate groups, learn about current campaigns, and work together to make our campaigns stronger and more effective. We hope the CAPA will provide the hope and connection that is so needed in this moment, and the practical space to coordinate and scheme for what’s next.
