Seniors for Climate Action Now! (SCAN!) is a newly formed Ontario-based organization seeking to inform and mobilize seniors in an effort to address the climate emergency. We recognize that climate action is also a call for social justice and economic transformation - the opportunity, as well as the need, to address racism and economic inequities.

Seniors for Climate Action Now! (SCAN! )Fridays for Future Solidarity Statement with the
March 19 Climate Strike Global Day of Action

March 19 is the next FridaysforFuture Global Day of Climate Action #NoMoreEmptyPromises
if you want to do a COVID compliant Strike action, here are some ideas below

FridaysforFuture Global Day of Climate Action #NOMOREEMPTYPROMISES

Those in power continue to only deliver vague and empty promises for far-off dates that are much too late. What we need are not meaningless goals for 2050 or net-zero targets full of loopholes, but concrete and immediate action in-line with science. Our carbon budget is running out. The climate crisis is already here and will only get worse, so if we are to avoid the worst-case scenarios, annual, short-term climate binding targets that factor in justice and equity have to be prioritized by the people in charge. Join the world on Friday, March 19, and demand that our mayors, premiers, and the federal government work together because we are in a climate emergency.

Organize your own
COVID safe action on Friday March 19th and every Friday

Set up an action alone or with friends at the end of your driveway or road (masks and 2 metres apart)
make a poster and post it on your social media on Fridays
save the FridaysforFuture logo (above) and make it your Facebook and Instagram profile photo
other COVID-Safe strike ideas: Digital Strike, Zoom Rally, Shoe Strike, Online School Rally, Driveway strike, Safe Distance strike, Lone strike, Social Bubble strike, Car Rally, Banner Drop, and/or Poster Strike.

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.

More information can be found at https://fridaysforfuture.org/what-we-do/our-demands/

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.
