Ritchie Workshop: Neighbouring for Climate

  • Ritchie Community League 7727 98 Street Northwest Edmonton, AB, T6E 5C9 (map)

Climate Connectors

Come learn about the City of Edmonton’s Neighbouring for Climate program and meet other climate-conscious folks from Ritchie, Hazeldean, Argyll and King Edward Park!

This 2-hour in-person event is an opportunity to help build local solutions, meet your neighbours, and uncover the resilient resources of our community.

Using worksheets, prompts, and a small group format, we will be brainstorming ideas for some of the Neighbouring for Climate cards. These plans will help our communities tackle climate change on a super local level.

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR PEOPLE WHO:​

  • are passionate about super local climate solutions

  • received a Neighbouring for Climate toolkit from the City, but aren’t sure where to start

  • want to learn more about the Neighbouring for Climate toolkit

  • want to meet likeminded neighbours

  • love talking positively about climate stuff!

All ages, experience and knowledge levels are welcome…and wanted! We need all voices and backgrounds contributing to the plans and community-centered solutions. If you have specific expertise in an area, we would love to know in advance.

We will have some simple activities for your kids if this would help encourage your attendance, but no direct “babysitter”. There will also be some simple snacks free of most allergens to keep us fueled for the afternoon!
