[BNS_members] Climate Event in Wolfville Today 5:00 pm

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good morning,

A reminder of the Candles for Climate event happening in Wolfville this 
evening at 5:00 pm. Many BNS members & Board members, along with 
students and community members, are involved in this. As we look towards 
launching Climate Circles soon (a facilitated space for local climate 
organizing & action), this event may serve as an initial space to 
(re)connect around climate and environmental concern, hope & action.

Blurb from the organizers:   ·

_Join us by candlelight to connect, share our concern for this world, 
find hope and gratitude among our community, and mobilize for climate 
and environmental action in the wake of COP27._

Friday November 18, 2022
5:00 pm - Clock Park, Wolfville

A group of community members invite you to gather and connect over 
climate concern, hope and action. As we watch the news, we cannot help 
but feel despair. Yet, we know the power of coming together as a 
community to express our feelings, to inspire hope, and demand action.
Let's build community connections that serve as the foundation for 
robust, inspired, heart-felt and necessary local climate action & 
biodiversity conservation. Among other things, let's speak for an end to 
fossil fuel exploration and oil and gas subsidies, and a just transition 
for workers.

Join us for a gathering circle, poetry offerings, guided moments of 
connection and sharing, a candlelit walk through town to honour our 
grief, illustrate our hope and call for dedicated, serious climate 
action ... followed by a closing circle of gratitude, connection & hot 
chocolate (bring your own mug!)
