Due to the cycles of freezing and thawing, the concrete is cracking and breaking creating holes that get dug deeper by our cars that pass through them. These are almost impossible to keep maintained due to the abundance of them!

We want to tell everyone about climate change; what it is, the impacts, and what we can do. Let’s talk with the community and tell them about this amazing new website that is connecting information, actions, and stories to inspire climate engagement in the Thunder Bay region.

Check out the MASSIVE amounts of unused space on the edge of Memorial avenue.  I’m terrified to cycle on Memorial avenue, especially with my son in tow and so we avoid shopping or visiting here during the warmer months.  I also see countless people cycling illegally on the sidewalks and edges of Memorial.  Let’s turn this useless space into a beautiful protected cycling path to encourage the whole community to visit this area safely.

A changing climate means that certain things that I enjoy about life in Thunder Bay will be seriously altered. Our quality of life is vulnerable, and that makes climate change an urgent issue. Increasing periods of drought and frequency of extreme heat events may leave our forests and grasslands dry and fire prone. Thunder Bay and area has already experienced periods of fire bans and burn permit suspensions. Without action for climate change mitigation, our campfires and backyard fire pits may become a thing of the past.

I will continue to serve the community in duty, love and activism, with a commitment to environmental stewardship, educational and inspirational, with honor and pride for these ancestral lands to build a better more inclusive sustainable Thunder Bay. A better tomorrow today!

Do a tick check every time you come back from the outdoors. Tick populations are growing and intensifying due to climate change.

As a teacher, the need to educate younger generations on climate change is important and evident. The lack of knowledge and understanding about the effects of our actions on the planet has resulted in movements such as the one pictured here, found on Lakehead University campus.

Wind and solar energy sources as well bike riding helps to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases contribute to climate change by increasing the temperature of the earth.

Earth is more than just a planet, it is our home. We need to change, and we need to change now. Do your part to change the conversation about climate change. We must stand together and play a part in protecting our home.
