October 1 is International Day of Older Persons and Canada’s National Seniors Day, so it’s the perfect time for seniors to demonstrate their growing concern about the impacts of climate change and their desire for a healthy environment.

Seniors for Climate’s day of action is next week! More than 55 events are happening on Tuesday, October 1, when seniors will come together to call for faster and better climate action now, because later is too late.

If you are an elder, will you join them? If you’re not, will you send this to the elders in your life?
