On the Season of Creation Action Day, September 21, 2024, ORCIE participated in the Gatineau-Ottawa Climate March alongside friends from Fridays for Future and various partner organizations, including Citizens for Public Justice, the Laudato Si Movement, For the Love of Creation, as well as individual parishioners from St. Joseph’s, St. Mark the Evangelist, and Canadian Martyrs Parish.
The focus of the march was to call out six organizations—Ottawa City Hall, the Royal Bank of Canada, the Canadian Gas Association, the Province of Ontario, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, and Export Development Canada— that are obstructing effective climate policy, spreading misinformation, and funding the detrimental fossil fuel industry. The climate rally brought together hundreds of voices in Ottawa, demanding a just, thriving, fossil fuel-free future for all!
