The September 27 climate strikes sent a big and beautiful message that we are passionate, strong and many, and that climate action is urgent, necessary and non-negotiable. Now, let's take that momentum and vote for climate solutions on October 21. (Photo: Adam Scotti via Flickr)
It’s time to exercise your democratic muscles and vote for a clean, climate-stable, healthy and just future for all!
How does it feel to be a part of one of the largest global mobilizations in history?
Our spirits were lifted by being with you on the streets to demand climate action. Throughout the country, we sent a big and beautiful message that we are passionate, strong and many, and that climate action is urgent, necessary and non-negotiable.
The global climate strikes:
More than 7.6 million people, 6,135 actions, 185 countries
Momentum is on our side as we approach the federal election
Here's what you can do to get ready!
1. Register to vote
It's easy to check your status, update your address or register to vote. Just use this link to the Online Voter Registration Service by Elections Canada!
If you are eligible, you can still vote even if you are not registered. You just need to make sure to
bring the proper ID.
2. Make your plan
Make your plan to vote by checking how to vote and when. You can vote on October 21, election day, but you can also vote by mail or at advance polls from October 11 to 14.
4. Find a voting buddy
If you can, go with someone who might otherwise not vote, may have trouble getting to the polling station on their own or needs an extra bit of motivation.
5. Have fun!
Help make the election fun by planning to do something unexpected, entertaining and/or tasty for election day. We've heard of people bringing "doughnuts for democracy" to their polling station, bands playing music while people wait in line and others setting up an "I voted" photo booth with fun props. What fun can you bring to election day?
6. Encourage others to do the same
If you are not of voting age, or otherwise not eligible to vote, get involved by talking to people who can vote about the election issues that most matter to you and encourage them to do the other things on this list.
This election is THE climate election
Polling over the past two weeks shows Canadians, unprompted, identify the environment and climate change as their top election issue. Canadians understand the climate crisis isn't just an environmental issue but an economic, social, health and justice issue as well.
It's time to exercise your democratic muscles and vote for a clean, climate-stable, healthy and just future for all!
