[BNS_members] Tomorrow: Climate Gathering in Wolfville 4:00 pm

[Caroline Beddoe]

Dear BNS community, 

There has been increasing discussion about ways we as a society and
community can address the climate crisis. There is diverse work to be
done. 

Tomorrow presents one way to get involved, as it is a global day of
action, a Global Climate Strike, lead primarily by young people around
the world, calling for climate action and keeping this issue front of
mind. 

Join Horton High School students, "Fridays for Future" members, and
other community members for a CLIMATE GATHERING/STRIKE TOMORROW AT 4:00
PM IN CLOCK PARK, WOLFVILLE. Rain or shine, it will be a peaceful
gathering with climate-caring people of all ages to renew hope and
demand action that puts people and this land over profits, with banners,
speeches, chants, and a march. With the most recent IPPC report on
climate chance, we are reminded that the time to act is now, from local
to federal and global levels. As the provincial legislatures returns for
the spring session, now is a great time to renew the focus on climate
change and all other environmental issues, especially with the release
of the budget and promises a climate action plan (per Bill-57) to be
released this year.

 Blomidon Naturalists Society activities take place in Mi'kma'ki, the
traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. This
territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which did
not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but in fact
recognized Mi'kmaw title. We want to recognize that outdoor education
and play would not be possible without access to the natural world that
has been stewarded since time immemorial by the many Indigenous peoples
of this land. We acknowledge that we have a responsibility to honour and
learn about their histories and current cultures and to actively work in
support of reconciliation. We are committed to fostering respectful and
sustainable relationships with the Indigenous Peoples of this land, with
all other organisms, with the land and with the water.
