For those of you who can't join us in New York City for the People's Climate March there are events being held across Quebec on the weekend of Saturday, September 20.
The New York City event, which is being billed as the largest climate march in history, will take place on Sunday, September 21 as world leaders gather in the city for a landmark UN climate meeting – just the right moment for big public pressure.
However, this event will not be just about New York or the United States. Parallel actions are planned worldwide for 130 countries, including Canada.
Use the People's Climate March map to find an event in your region.
Here are just some of the many events scheduled for the province of Quebec:
