For Our Kids Canada
@forourkidscanada
We are a network of parents and families from diverse backgrounds and levels of experience, united by our concern for our children's future and determination to take action to reduce the impacts of climate change.
We do not let "perfect" be the enemy of the good at for our kids. The parents, grandparents and caregivers in our network aren't perfect - and they don't expect you to be either. We help you find climate action that works for you and your real life. Join or support our network at forourkids.ca/
When it feels like taking climate action is all-or-nothing, know that there are small actions out there that make a difference. We know what it means to be truly busy, and we can help you find 5, 15 or 30-min actions that will have an impact while raising kids at the same time. forourkids.ca/join
Waiting out the #heat indoors this week? Here are some 5-minute #climate actions you can take. We help #parents, #grandparents and #caregivers take climate action in a way that respects raising #kids at the same time. Learn more: forourkids.ca
Joining a climate organization makes action easier. When you find one that shares your focus and is made of people like you, everything clicks. Parent‑led groups like ours understand the strengths and challenges of parents, grandparents, and caregivers. Learn more at forourkids.ca/join.
Last week's #climate events got you overwhelmed, and you want to get involved? We're a climate organization created by and for #parents: we know what it means to be truly busy. You're welcome here, and we can help you find small steps that work for you while #parenting. Forourkids.ca/join
Jinhwa’s story in Beyond Ecological Grief is brave and grounding: from fear for her daughter’s future to finding community and purpose with For Our Kids. Thanks to @nationalobserver.com.web.brid.gy for the space to tell one of our stories. Listen, join or support the work: forourkids.ca
If you're thinking about how you can help stop these heatwaves getting worse as you're helping your family through them today, we've got you. We help parents and caregivers find climate actions that work for them and their families where they live. 👉 forourkids.ca/join or forourkids.ca/donate.
#Families need climate #solutions that help them cope with extreme heat today and reduce future warming. We’re pushing for systems that make good choices easy, like accessible #transit, cooling #infrastructure, and climate‑smart planning. Join us in building a livable #future. forourkids.ca/join
Pipeline-loving politicians are choosing to fill our kids' respiratory tracts with toxic air. Reject dystopia. Reject the lie that nation-building requires plundering our children's right to breathe. Parents & caregivers - we must protect what we love. Join the movement! www.forourkids.ca
When #parents speak about climate, people listen. They bring urgency, long‑term thinking, and a love‑driven commitment to protecting the #future - essential and needed in every #climate conversation. ⭐️ Join our parent #community or consider supporting our #summer fundraiser at at forourkids.ca
Huge shout out to our climatemamaclaire.bsky.social for speaking at environmentaldefence.ca's, 'Transition Talks: Alberta's Clean Energy Future' this week on why cutting methane is essential for clean air, healthy kids, and how we can drive meaningful change. 👏👏👏 #CutMethane #PullTheEmergencyBrake
Parents across Canada showed up last week for the People’s MOU Day of Action with 350 Canada, calling for leaders to cut methane, stop climate‑burning pipelines, and accelerate a just energy transition. Follow to see how parents are taking action and find a team near you. #climate #climateaction
