Raising Marpole Voices
Raising Marpole Voices was co-designed in partnership with the Marpole Neighbourhood House and South Vancouver Neighbourhood House. South Vancouver housed and unhoused members, community organizations, as well as City representatives, and UBC students came together to discuss resilience-building to support diverse community needs during extreme cold weather. Community conversations at the event helped reduce stigma through the sharing of lived experiences, and fostered community connections for future collaborative and inclusive actions in South Vancouver.

For Our Kids Climate Walk
The Climate Action Mobilizers hosted a Climate Walk for preschoolers and elementary school students in collaboration with the Burnaby chapter of For Our Kids, a local climate action group. The goal was to spread awareness about community-based climate action, as well as the causes, impacts, mitigation and adaptation (CIMA) measures related to climate change.
Planning Together: Becoming an 8-80 City by 2030
Planning Together focused on strategizing and planning for Vancouver to be an “8 to 80” city, where communities are built to be accessible for everyone from 8 to 80 years old.
The Climate Action Mobilizers hosted this hybrid event in partnership with the City of Vancouver Seniors Advisory Committee (SAC) and Transportation Advisory Committee (TRAC), bringing together seniors-serving organizations and many others to address the need for sustainable and accessible transportation options.
Earth Fest
In celebration of Earth Day, the Climate Action Mobilizers partnered with CALP to celebrate the individual and community commitments made by past Cool ‘Hood Champs at the Everett-Crowley Park Committee’s Earth Fest event.
Neighbourhood Climate Chats
To kick off the two-year Climate Action Mobilizer (CAM) Project, the CAM team organized and facilitated an inaugural event: Neighbourhood Climate Chats (NCC).
During this convening event, the Climate Action Mobilizers hosted a number of keynote speakers and local climate experts who led table discussions on key domains for climate action in a World Café format. There were two rounds of discussion, and five climate domains that participants could choose from. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NCC event was offered in a fully hybrid format.
