Year-End Gathering

Year-End Gathering - Celebrating Teams and Members

Monday Dec. 8th, 4pm PT / 5pm MT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET / 8pm AT

All are welcome to join this Year-End Gathering!  We'll celebrate For Our Kids teams and members, share a video montage of For Our Kids actions from the past year, and highlight stories from teams in the network. Whether you've been part of a For Our Kids team for years, or are brand new to following our network, all are invited. 

If you have a particular story about a For Our Kids action over the 2025 year that you'd like to share, or photos to add to the montage, please reach out to [email protected]. 

Hope to see you there!

 

Winnipeg January Meet-Up

Join us for another kid-friendly climate action meeting on January 15th from 5:30 - 7 pm. 

Meet us in the program room at Bill and Helen Norrie Library (15 Poseidon Bay, Grant Ave @ Cambridge) with your little ones (and partners or friends!) to discuss next steps for taking climate action together!

In November, we brainstormed ideas around supporting active transportation and bike safety. We'll continue to explore how we can advocate for safe streets, as well as share family-focused sustainability tips and other action ideas. 

Interested but can't make it? Email [email protected] to let me know, and we can follow up with more information!

Nature Discovery Workshop: Family Snowshoeing

Come snowshoe with For Our Kids Ottawa-Gatineau at the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre! 

Sunday January 18th, 10am-12pm.

This activity is free! We'll provide the snowshoes and hot chocolate.

This event has an indoor space (with bathrooms) that we will use after the outdoor activities. 

In addition to making awesome memories and experiencing the outdoors and all the mental health benefit it brings, we will have simple, optional actions that you can take (like sending a postcard) to bring these events to the next level. Community + Outdoors + advocacy!

Spaces are limited, so please RSVP to [email protected] if you are interested or want to learn more. 

RSVP required by January 14 with how many adults and children would like to attend and we will confirm to you (by email) if there is space available. All ages are welcome and all children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
