| Dear Louisette,
 
 Climate change is the defining issue of our times and scientists from around the world agree we must make rapid changes in order to ensure a safe future for us and our planet. The Kitchener-Waterloo Chapter of the Council of Canadians is pleased to invite you to two important events to talk about climate change and what we can do about it.
 
 Pipelines, Tar Sands and the Climate
 
 Join us for an evening of discussion analyzing the faulty logic behind expanding the Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says humans must cut emissions in half in the next 10 years.
 
 Hear from keynote speaker Professor Gordon Laxer, Political Economist, founding director of Parkland Institute in Alberta and a specialist on pipelines, energy and the environment, and panellists Dr. Angela Carter, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Waterloo Political Science, and Dr. John Peters, Associate Professor, Labour Studies, Laurentian University.
 
 The evening will be moderated by Dr. Daniel Scott, University Research Chair in Climate and Society and Executive Director, Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change, University of Waterloo.
 
 Event details
 
 When: Tuesday, June 18 from 7 to 9 p.m.
 Where: University of Waterloo, Environment 3 (EV3) room 1408, 200 University Ave. West (on the main floor across from the living wall) (Map)
 
 Admission is free. Please use this registration link to secure your place.
 
 Pact for a Green New Deal
 
 And then the following evening, please join us for a Town Hall Meeting about the “Pact for a Green New Deal,” a new initiative to create a bold and far-reaching plan to cut emissions in half in 11 years in line with Indigenous knowledge and climate science, create more than a million good jobs you can support a family with, and build inclusive communities in the process.
 
 Event details
 
 When: Wednesday, June 19 from 7 to 9 p.m.
 Where: St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in the Elizabeth Room, 54 Queen St. N., Kitchener (Map)
 
 Admission is free. Please use this registration link to confirm your attendance.
