This past year was a difficult time to be a climate activist. Our societal fabric was fragmented as we dealt with the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, an affordability crisis saw millions struggling to make ends meet, foreign interference was rampant, and aggressive misinformation campaigns capitalized on our vulnerability to put the blame for our difficulties on the “carbon tax.” Citizens’ Climate Lobby Canada’s members were undaunted. We almost doubled our metrics compared to 2023, including over 100 lobby meetings and over 1000 messages to our legislators. We made a giant leap to Bluesky and were not disappointed. We had many firsts including first and second media scrums ever in a Parliament building, first and second time presenting to Parliamentary committees, first time lobbying at the Ledge in Winnipeg, and first time partnering with other groups for our national conferences. We held the flag for truth, for a fairer society, and for a liveable planet, and we never stopped working to change hearts and minds in our communities. There is so much more in our report!
