We’ve moved! The Council of Canadians has a new address. Our new location is 1003-280 Albert Street, Ottawa, Ontario. K1P 5G8
This September, the CEOs of BlackRock, Blackstone and other representatives of the global 1% are coming to Toronto at the invitation of Prime Minister Mark Carney.
We refuse to let our futures be decided behind closed doors by the 200 richest CEOs on earth. We’re holding our own summit on September 12-13. And on September 14th movements and communities across this city are coming together to crash theirs.
Latest news from the Council of Canadians
Water is Life Art Challenge
The Council of Canadians, Blue Community Schools and members of the Justseeds artists’ cooperative in Canada are inviting teachers, community members, and youth to participate in the Water is Life Art Challenge — a shared expression of care for the waters that sustain us.
In this time of acute planetary and environmental threat, this community art project will direct creative attention towards our local watersheds – the rivers, aquifers, and rain cycles that hold life together – and the vital collaborations between plants, fungal networks, animals, and human beings that hold and purify water in our landscapes.
No two-Tier healthcare in Alberta or Anywhere
At a time when Premiers across Canada are doubling down on failed policies of privatization in healthcare, Council campaigner, Nikolas Barry-Shaw appeared on CBC’s The National in a story on Alberta’s flirtation with two-tier health care in the province.
If Alberta’s radical privatization plan goes forward, it could mean the end of Canadian Medicare as we know it. Send a letter to Health Minister Marjorie Michel, Liberal Health Caucus chair Sonia Sidhu and your MP: Enforce the Canada Health Act now.
