Council of Canadians, Red Deer and Area Chapter

Council of Canadians, Red Deer and Area Chapter Humanity is at a crossroads. Tragically, most governments support an economic system that pits unlimited growth above the vital needs of people and the planet.

The Council of Canadians Red Deer chapter is part of a national grassroots organization of committed individuals, like yourself, that work towards a greater society for all people, not just the elite. Economic globalization and unregulated market capitalism have divided the world – and Canada – into rich and poor as at no time in living history and endangered the ability of the planet to sustain l

ife. The foundation of our work is the education and empowerment of people to fight for the values and policies we believe in. Our members, supporters and network of over 70 activist chapters create a powerful voice for social and environmental justice. We work to hold governments accountable and challenge the unbalanced power of corporations, promoting positive social change in Canada and the world. We believe this path must be founded on a deep understanding of our place within life and nature. We are the only species capable of profoundly altering the biosphere. That must inspire us to humility, not arrogance; to stewardship, not exploitation; and to social solidarity, not competition.

Today, First Nations along the Central Coast of British Columbia, Parks Canada and Government of British Columbia, announced Mia-yaltwa Ha'lidzogm hoon (Realm of the Salmon, Home of the Salmon).

This important step reflects the leadership and generational stewardship of Wuikinuxv, Nuxalk, Kitasoo Xai'xais, Heiltsuk, Gitxaała and Gitga'at Nations, alongside Canada and British Columbia.

These waters support salmon, herring, eulachon, kelp forests, deep-sea coral and sponge reefs, whales, and the coastal communities and cultures connected to them. Protecting ocean habitats like these helps keep the ocean abundant and supports healthy fisheries and strong coastal livelihoods — today and for children and grandchildren along the coast.

This isn’t the way most of us expected Canada’s climate conversation to go. But it’s what we’ve got—this is our “world as it is”. So what’s next?
