Carbon Conversations Toronto (CCTO) is a volunteer-led group with a mission to normalize climate action. Climate change can leave individuals feeling anxious, hopeless and in despair. CCTO helps people find their power and motivation and turn that into climate action. Since 2017, CCTO has facilitated courageous, open-hearted conversations about climate change through their flagship Climate Change and You program, climate cafes, and other climate workshops.
On January 22, Extinction Rebellion groups across Canada will stand in solidarity with Beaver Hills Warriors and Indigenous Climate Action to demand that our government listen to the front line communities as well as the science and REJECT the Teck Frontier Mine.
About The Mine:
A massive new oil-sands mine project — widely thought to be the largest Alberta will ever build — is awaiting final federal approval from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet in February.
The Teck Frontier mine (https://thenarwhal.ca/one-of-the-largest-oilsands-mines-ever-proposed-advances-to-public-hearings/ )would cover 24,000 hectares — an area twice the size of the City of Vancouver — and would produce 260,000 barrels of bitumen each day at its peak. The proposal includes plans to produce oil starting in 2026, and to continue on producing right through to the 2060s.
Having been under review for several years, the mine’s fate now rests in the hands of the federal government.
