On March 18, young activists and elected politicians from across party lines will come together to discuss a transformative climate and labour solution: a national Youth Climate Corps. This event is co-hosted by Climate Emergency Unit & the office of MP Laurel Collins, and will be broadcast live online with watch parties in communities across the country. In the face of record temperatures and extreme weather events, Canadian youth are long overdue for a program that would get them directly involved in the fight against the climate crisis. That's why we're hosting a multi-party town hall to discuss the future of youth, build support for MP Laurel Collins’ motion for a Youth Climate Corps, and talk about how we can win this historic program. We encourage you to join an in-person watch party in your area (or host one yourself!) so you can build and cultivate the people-powered movement needed to secure a Youth Climate Corps. Can’t find a watch party in your area and don’t want to host? Register for the live broadcast.

Calling all “Boots on the Ground”! Canada’s Operators community gathers in one place each year to talk shop, network and discover the latest innovations in the industry, and that place is CanREA’s Ops Summit. The fourth annual edition of CanREA’s Operations Summit, the largest conference and exhibition devoted to the operations and maintenance of renewable energy and energy storage sites in Canada, is coming to Calgary in 2024. In response to the extreme weather issues facing Canadian Operators in 2023, such as forest fires, air quality, flooding and hurricanes, the theme of the 2024 event is “Operating in a changing climate.” Operators will learn best practices in dealing with difficult conditions, share lessons learned from past experiences, and discuss the various ways in which they are planning for the future, to continue successfully operating renewable energy and energy-storage sites in Canada’s changing climate. The program will offer unmatched learning opportunities, including well balanced wind and solar technical tracks with specialized and highly technical concurrent sessions, as well as H&S, workforce development and, of course, operations-focused sessions that are relevant to every operator and across all technologies. A particular highlight will be the National Solar Operators Roundtable and the National Wind […]
