Pocket Change Meeting

This event has already taken place.

Parliament declared a climate emergency. City Council declared a climate emergency. How many years will it be before the gas is cut off?

There’s a group of us who want to make sure we’re ready — with all homes in the Pocket so well insulated we can afford to heat them electrically.

The City is helping us pilot this community-based approach. The Federal Government promised support for home retrofits — our MP is checking it out.

Pocket Change now has 112 members. We meet this Thursday at 7pm in Room 123 at the Indigenous Education Centre / Wandering Spirit School — join us! Enter via the main door at the front — we be in a large room at the far south end of the building.
