What: 
A non-partisan gathering of students and community members to demand greater government action on climate change. 
Speeches by climate activists and experts, musical performances, and an opportunity for members of the public to put forward their ideas about how Canada can deal with the climate change crisis.
To finish, a march around Uptown Waterloo including a stop in front of the office of the local Member of Parliament, Peter Braid.
Why: 
To demand that Canada lead efforts to prevent climate catastrophe, rather than falling farther behind
To join the Canadian and international climate change movement in demanding a strong treaty this December in Copenhagen. 
To set the world back on course to return to safe levels of CO2 in the atmosphere (350 parts per million or less).
