Schools Group Meet-up April 2026

School Working Group Meet-up: Let’s Turn Ideas into Impact in Schools!

Whether you’re currently dreaming of school gardens, pushing for electric buses, or navigating the school council or board meetings, you don’t have to do it alone. Join us for our April Schools Working Group meet-up, a cozy yet high-energy space designed specifically for parents across Canada to swap stories, share their challenges, and talk about those "lightbulb moments" that make school climate action so rewarding.

This is your space to tell us what’s brewing in your community and let us know exactly how we can support your work. We’ll also give you a first look at upcoming For Our Kids resources and campaign tools designed to make your advocacy a little easier and a lot more fun.

Grab a tea, hop on, and let’s grow this movement together. Kids and pets are welcome!
