Candlelight Vigil for Climate Action - December 12 at Grizzly Plaza
The North Columbia Environmental Society invites citizens of Revelstoke to join in a candlelight vigil in support of climate action at Grizzly Plaza from 6:30, December 12.
Scheduled to occur in the middle of the two-week 15th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, this vigil will be one of thousands occurring worldwide.
Initiated by the international climate action campaign, these vigils will reinforce the original message sent to world leaders on Oct24th, International Climate Action Day – that immediate action must be taken to reduce atmospheric CO2 from the current concentration of 390 parts per million (ppm) to the scientifically-proven “safe upper limit” of 350 ppm.
A candlelit human formation of this critical number, 350, will be photographed and sent to 350.org in support of their movement. The evening of December 12th, gear up in your warm winter clothes, grab a candle or headlamp, and come to Grizzly Plaza to support the climate action movement!

Thank you Karilyn for posting this! We hope everyone comes out tonight for a bit of fun and to send a strong message to PM Harper and other stick-in-the-mud leaders who are holding back most other countries in the world who are ready for firm action on climate change! Cheers! Sarah
