This week's round-up of radical events, featuring Digital Arts Resource Centre, #BreakFreeFromPlastic, CAPP Kemptville, Horizon Ottawa, Octopus Bookstore, SASC Ottawa, CPEP Group and more! punchupcollective.org/reo-calendar/l…

We have significant concerns about the Wildlife Strategy.

The City views wildlife predominantly as a nuisance, and has pursued expensive, inhumane methods when better ones exist.

We were pleased to participate in a portion of this session.

Passionate local leaders across our country doing outstanding work! Thank you Broadbent Institute and all participants.

We had a great session today with folks joining us both in-person and virtually involved in municipal organizing across the country.

We spoke about how to engage in campaigning that inspires people to elect progressive councils!

Thanks to Broadbent Institute for making this possible.

🚨EMERGENCY RALLY

Workers of the only Francophone Women's shelter in #ottcity have been threatened with a lockout.

We need to stand behind and support this critical work!

Details on rally below:

Look at all these streets that will be pedestrianized in downtown Montreal this Summer!

Don't let them tell you it isn't possible in #Ottawa too.

We chose our name because we want to look towards the Horizon, but not at the sun's deadly rays!

Don't forget to wear eye protection when looking at the eclipse today!

Promoting international tourism to Ottawa is a worthwhile endeavour. But we can do this by restoring our commitment to local festivals like Tulip Festival and Chamber Fest. These events provide a clear and proven return on investment.
