On Feb 3, the City of Vancouver is bringing together experts, activists, and entertainers at the Orpheum to talk about why bold climate action is needed, how Vancouver is planning to be bold, and how you can be a part of it all.

Join the City of Vancouver for engaging talks on the scale of the crisis and urgent need for action, true stories of social transformations and insights for climate action, and a “bold actions exhibition” where you have the chance to get involved. The evening will end with a performance from Vancouver-based musicians Hey Ocean!, inspiring people to leave the event with high energy and a commitment to working boldly together.

This event is the kick-off to a series of opportunities in early 2020 to collect public input on Vancouver’s next climate action plan. Join this event to plug into further opportunities, events, dialogues, host-your-own dialogue kits, workshops, and more.
