Join the Community Social Planning Council, climate experts, and community members for an evening of learning, conversation, and good food on June 6. Speakers from the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, First Nations, and the City of Victoria will share climate projections for Victoria and how communities can be ready to adapt. Share a meal, then have breakout conversations to hear thoughts and concerns about climate change, and what would help community members build resilience.

This event is part of the Climate Equity by Design project led by the Community Social Planning Council, which will inform the City of Victoria’s forthcoming Climate Change Adaptation Plan to ensure that adaptation strategies are tailored to the unique needs of the community and based on the lived experience of those who are most at risk from the impacts of climate change. The CEbD project focuses on low-income; Indigenous, Black, and People of COlour (IBPOC); 2SLGBTQ+ people  and households; Indigenous communities; and racialized minorities to ensure that adaptation planning in Victoria is reflective of their expressed needs, perceptions, and capacity.

This event is sponsored through the PICS Climate Action Events Program.

The event will take place on the unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, including the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, as well as the WSÁNEĆ Nation.
