The Global Climate Strike is Friday – part of a global effort to end the era of fossil fuels. The PEI edition of the Global Climate Strike is being held in Charlottetown on Richmond Street in front of the Coles Building. Organizers say everyone is welcome and they’re asking participants to start gathering at 11:45am and then the event will begin at 12-noon.
Spokesperson Mille Clarkes says that for many years climate change was an issue that was intellectualized – it was something in our heads that we saw happening in the future. But she says that after Hurricane Fiona last fall and the wildfires across Canada this year, she’s heard more and more Islanders this summer discussing the impacts of climate change.
