Join the USSU for Climate Change Awareness March
Join the USSU and several campus groups for a Climate Change Awareness March through downtown Saskatoon on Saturday, October 24, at Kinsmen Park.
This march will be in support of the global 350.org movement and the International Day of Action for Climate Change events. The march is intended to raise awareness of the international campaign dedicated towards creating an equitable global climate treaty that lowers carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to below 350 parts per million - the safe upper limit now widely agreed upon by climate change scientists.
Everyone will meet at 10:00 a.m. in Kinsmen Park located on Spadina Cresent East, off 25th Street East. There will also be face painting, fun and games, and speakers including renowned climate change scientist Elaine Wheaton.
The march will go through downtown to the Farmers Market, where there will be an Eco-Fair with environmental organizations showcasing their work. Everyone is encouraged to wear red to stand out, and to bring banners, signs and noise makers.
Join the USSU, and be part of a global movement to show world leaders that citizens demand less talk and more action on this important issue!
