Welcome

Green Neighbours 21 is a grass-roots, action-oriented group of people who live in Ward 21, Toronto (and beyond) who are working together to respond to climate change and other environmental issues. It is based on the belief that although the problems we face are complex and challenging, there is a lot that we can do to make a difference, and it’s a lot more fun and effective if we work together. The group helps members of the community to learn more about the issues and to live more lightly on the planet. It offers an opportunity for neighbours to meet, and helps build strong community.

Green Neighbours 21 is an accredited member of  Climate Action Network Canada, an umbrella group of more than 75 Canadian organizations concerned with climate change. 

 

Our next meeting

Mon, 10 Jun, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Location: St. Michael & All Angels Church(south east corner of St. Clair and Wychwood, enter from Wychwood through wooden gates, come up to 2nd floor)

Speaker: Sabrina Bowman, Environmental Defence

Enbridge is proposing to reverse Line 9, an aging oil pipeline, to carry hot diluted bitumen from the Tar Sands to refineries on the East Coast . The line cuts through the northern edge of Toronto and crosses 3 major rivers leading to Lake Ontario. Spills from similar pipelines have brought environmental disasters to Kalamazoo, Michigan and Mayflower, Arkansas. Are we ready to risk that here?

Come to this important meeting to hear about what’s being proposed, the hazards involved, and the Toronto groups that are fighting to stop it. Find out how to add your voice to those opposing this dangerous plan.
