Last August, the City of Edmonton declared a state of climate emergency, joining hundreds of cities around the globe including Canadian cities, Vancouver and Toronto.

So what?

What does it mean for you and your family? What does it mean for your neighbours next door? For Ritchie?

Let's talk about it!

This is a discussion about our community and its residents' safety and security when it comes to “crazy” storms. This is about doing things that are within your control and ability.

Bring the family (all ages have thoughts and ideas). Bring your elderly neighbour. Tell people about the event.

Note: If you would like to debate global temperatures, “carbon tax” or any Canadian political platforms, that will be held at another time, probably somewhere else.
