Demand an impact assessment on the Vista coal mine

Despite the enormous scale of its proposed expansion, the Vista coal mine has slipped through the cracks and has managed to evade any federal impact assessment.   

Now, we need to stop it. 

Join us in calling on Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault to launch an impact assessment for the Vista coal mine expansion now.  


Give the Southern Resident Killer Whales a lifeline

Both the federal environment minister and the fisheries minister know that these endangered orcas are long overdue for strong protections. A newly operational Trans Mountain pipeline means they can’t wait any longer. 

Will you email those in charge now? The ministers must recommend that Cabinet issue an emergency order to protect the Southern Resident Killer Whales.

Tell your MP to stop fuelling wildfires

Climate change has created the perfect conditions for “supercharged” wildfire seasons. And it’ll only get worse if we keep on burning coal, oil, and gas.

Politicians have the power to put us on the path to a safer future. But they’ll only act if you tell them to.


Everyone deserves the right to a healthy environment

People across Canada waited for more than two decades to win the legal right to a healthy environment. It’s now time for the federal government to implement this right as strongly as possible.

Take action and call for a strong right to a healthy environment by sending an email to Minister Guilbeault and Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Save nature now

Right now, we have the opportunity to make a real difference for nature and climate.

The UN Biodiversity Conference last year saw Canada commit to protecting 30 per cent of lands and oceans by 2030. 

Now, we need Prime Minister Trudeau to pass a law with clear timelines and accountability for these targets. Will you be a voice for nature?


Urge financial institutions to stop funding fossil fuels

Canada’s banks and insurance firms are among the world’s largest oil, gas, and coal funders.

Call for an end to thermal coal

It’s time for Canada to stop carving up mountains, polluting the air, and exacerbating the climate crisis by mining thermal coal and shipping it overseas.

Tell Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault that you want Canada to stop mining and exporting thermal coal.
