As a result of safety concerns around current government regulations about public gatherings, the location of our
Global Climate Action Day event has changed.
It will be held between the town docks and the lights at the Gelert Rd.
There is a maximum of 25 attendees. This will be monitored.
All C-19 protocols will be followed such as:
- wearing a mask, with no singing, chanting or shouting.
- respecting a distance of 8 feet apart. We will mark a spot for you to stand or sit on a lawn chair and ask that you remain in place (if possible) for the hour's duration to avoid problems with people getting too close to each other.
- Please self- assess before attending.
Please bring a sign, if you can.
If we have to say thank you but sorry we have reached capacity, we will keep track of numbers and be sure to include this in any post media coverage. Please come out and support us as people may also come and go!
Please stay tuned to our social and local media for any pertinent updates.
We also ask that you not participate if you have traveled out of the country, have any symptoms of respiratory infection, or have had any contact with a known or suspected case of COVID. Again, masks are mandatory.
Here is the link for COVID self assessment: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
Please bring a sign to state why you are participating.
Examples of slogans are:
"No Planet B"
Climate Justice
We want a Green Recovery
Our Children's Future is at Stake
Save our Planet
We are all in this together
Unite behind the Science
Climate Action Now!
Please print your letters as large as possible so they can be read from a distance.
We are recommending you make your sign out of Coroplast or Foam Core if you plan to attend further climate strikes. This material is available at Glecoff's Family Store in Haliburton.

Why are we protesting?
While provincial, national and international action on the climate emergency is essential, all communities, including Haliburton County, need to pull their weight for us to have a reasonable chance of limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees C, and preferably 1.5 degrees, under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Our current Climate Action Plan does not come close to meeting this agreement. We want action on all political levels that provides a liveable planet for our children.
So, please wear a mask over both nose and mouth, bring a lawn chair and a sign. We will have hand sanitizer available.
