Merci, Miigwech and Thank You

Donations to us are not tax-deductible because we lobby, we train people to lobby,
and we run conferences and lobbying days. All of these activities are non-charitable activities.

We are grateful for the tens of thousands of dollars and countless volunteer hours that have been donated
to us by everyday Canadians over the years. We would never have been able to conduct
ten national conferences and lobby days in Ottawa, four online conferences during COVID-19,
five Ontario regional conferences, and lobbied collectively 17 times on Parliament Hill
since 2010 without their unconditional giving and trust.

Keep scrolling to find out more about us and our work. We have the best volunteers on the planet.
We have won before, and we’re going to win again with your help.

Why donate today?

On March 21, 2023, the IPCC released its final assessment report in its sixth cycle (AR6) – the Synthesis report. The report is a how-to guide on defusing the climate time bomb.  The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said, “We must do everything, everywhere, all at once.”

CCL Canada Uses a Proven Theory of Change

We use a proven theory of change. How do we know it works? We were the group that lobbied over 1200 times for your Climate Action Incentive quarterly cheques.

On October 16, 2018, Senator Grant Mitchell said to us, “You are one of the most successful lobbying groups I have worked with because you are about to get what you lobbied for.”

Then on Tuesday, October 23, 2018, Canada announced it was going to enact an incrementally rising carbon price with rebates. It needed some improvements, so we continued to lobby our parliamentarians.

WE DID IT AGAIN! On Friday, December 11, 2020, improvements to Canada’s carbon pricing policy were announced.  We were ecstatic when we read about the improvements they made. The government of Canada pretty much cut and pasted what we had lobbied our MPs for between 2018-2020.

We lobby for the greater good

Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteers (CCLers) are the best lobbyists money can’t buy. Their long-term commitment is unparalleled in the climate crisis. Their donation of time is priceless. Across Canada, CCLers have been meeting monthly on regularly scheduled teleconference calls since September 2010. Last year was an unforgettable year. In 2022 our volunteers documented 102 lobbying sessions with Parliamentarians and 586 media hits.  They want to do more, and they will with your help.

About CCL Canada

We have been accumulating institutional wisdom since 2010. We are laser-focused on building the political will for policies that will shift trillions of dollars globally toward a thriving and equitable planet while not burdening the taxpayer.

We empower individuals so that they experience significant growth in their own political and personal power, as well as discover and celebrate their capacity to make a significant difference in this world. Our volunteers break down partisan and ideological barriers by reaching out to key stakeholders to build positive, effective working relationships.

Our work is not done. Pricing greenhouse gas pollution is under attack. Also, like during COVID, there are populist movements that ignore science at the peril of humanity. Consequently, we are not on track for the 1.5 C Paris Agreement target nor the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. But the good news is we can achieve these goals while not burdening the taxpayer. All we need now is to be brave and build political will.

We have a proven theory of change. And we are going to prevail.

Democracy requires a healthy and polite engagement between citizens and politicians. At the very core of our work at Citizens’ Climate Lobby Canada are relationships. Thank you for learning more about us.

Relationships are at the core of our work.

 

How the money will be spent

We are using the money to fund people on a part-time basis to manage a “climate action makes our lives affordable” campaign using a proven theory of change. This campaign will grow our active membership, dispel myths, and keep us focused so we can have fun while creating the political will for a liveable future. Money will also be used to host lobbying events at Queen’s Park in Toronto, the Ledge in Winnipeg, Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and hopefully the Ledge in Edmonton this year.

Also, in 2024, with your help, we plan to produce public service announcements educating the public about climate solutions and pilot a youth-led climate policy program. Why? Because most Canadians can’t name a single climate policy, and we need to help counter the carbon pricing disinformation. Note that we produced commercials in 2015. 

We raised $10,974 on our Earth Hour to Earth Day fundraising drive in 2023! And we will raise money again in March/April 2024 but you can donate at any time.

If you are blessed with financial abundance, then please consider donating $20, $50, $100, $500, $1000, or more to CCL Canada today.

You can also donate monthly. Small monthly donations add up, and they give us the flexibility we need to stay focused on supporting our volunteers while free of financial concerns.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

  • Donations made to CCL USA from Canada stay at CCL USA
  • A board pre-approves all expenditures
  • A board approves all withdrawals of money
  • Two people must co-sign to remove money from our national account

IMMENSE GRATITUDE:
We are grateful to our donors. We would never have been able to conduct nine national conferences and lobby days in Ottawa, four Ontario regional conferences, and lobbied collectively 16 times on Parliament Hill (virtually during COVID) since 2011 without their unconditional giving and trust. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we also conducted four national conferences too.
