• Once you have obtained 30 signatures, call your MP’s office
• Identify yourself as a constituent of his/her riding
• Ask if your MP if he/she would be willing to read our Parliamentary Petition on climate change in its entirety (excluding the signatories) in the House of Commons
• Print the petition on legal (8.5 x 14) or letter-size (8.5 x 11) paper.
• Make sure there are three lines for signatures on the first page.
• Make sure there is a line at the top of every signature page thereafter indicating that it is a parliamentary petition and its topic.
• Get at least 25 signatures on the petition – follow the instructions closely. We recommend getting 30 just to be safe.
• Once completed, copy it for your files if you wish, then bring the original file to your MP’s office to be read in Parliament.

Hand-deliver or send the original copy of the petition to:

YOUR MP’S NAME
House of Commons
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0A6

No stamp is required for Parliament in Ottawa.

If your MP does not want to read the petition, you can send it to other MPs who will. Follow up by asking when it will be read in Parliament, how it was received and a big thank you via snail mail, email, and social media. Please inform us in your monthly Citizens’ Climate Lobby field report if your petition has been read aloud in the House of Commons. It is considered to be outreach.  By informing the national office we can thank them on Twitter and Facebook.

Cabinet Ministers are not permitted to read petitions in the House of Commons as it would constitute a “conflict of interest”. Thus if your MP is a cabinet Minister you should inform him/her about the petition and ask if he or she could suggest another MP from your province who might read the petition instead.

WE DID IT!
Please note this 2020 petition 2020 to the Government of Canada to Improve the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act was implemented.

PARLIAMENTARY E-PETITIONS 

These are the official e-petitions that are read in the House of Commons.

Online parliamentary petitions and any online petition are a lot of work. Here are the steps to go through to get one considered by our network.

1. First, there must be buy-in from most of the CCL group leaders – especially from the Parliamentary Petition Team – the team that knows the intricate steps.
2. Then we need to form an eager National Action Team with clear job descriptions, and a step-by-step plan to attain 1000+++ signees. This is a multi-step process.
3. Join CCL Canada monthly calls if you ever have the idea to do an online Parliamentarian Petition and talk it over with your national colleagues. We row together. No one person makes decisions for national actions.

For Valentines Day 2026 we created postcards to support the Climate Aligned Finance Act. We have changed the back of the card so that you can use them year round.

Note the back of the cards do not reference Valentine’s Day.

Printing instructions:

1. Right-click on an image and choose “Save image as” to download it to your computer.
   Or edit the images directly in Canva by making a copy in your own account.
2. There are two postcard backs: one for the Senate and one for the House of Commons.
3. To save on printing costs, the back of the postcard can be printed in black and white or greyscale.
4. Choose your images, and print:
   – on card stock for postcards, or
   – on regular paper if you’ll use envelopes.

Signing the postcards:

• Be sure to put the name of the parliamentarian on the card in the two places as well as your name, city and postal code. (You can put your full address but there is not a lot of room).
• Note that postage is NOT required for letters and postcards sent to Parliament Hill.

Our Five Levers of Political Will

These are the five core activities that all Citizens’ Climate Lobby chapters leverage to bring citizens into the political process and to ensure their contribution is constructive and makes more good possible. We call these activities the “levers of political will.”

1. Lobbying: We train citizens how to lobby in support of policies that redirect finances away from fossil fuels by building friendly relationships with our federally elected representatives.
2. Media relations: We train citizens how to engage with and influence the media. We write letters to the editors and op-eds, meet with editorial boards and work to place stories in all forms of media.
3. Grassroots outreach: We recruit and educate the public on climate solutions, citizen advocacy and how to participate with one’s government.
4. Grasstops outreach: We seek to educate, build partnerships with and gain the support of community leaders and non-governmental organizations, both nationally and locally.
5. Chapter development: It is through the growth and management of the local CCL group/chapter, that it becomes possible to push on the other four levers for building political will.
