Focusing on Climate Change
As part of the Indigenous Climate Change Observation Network (ICCON), the Kainai First Nation and Samson Cree Nation partnered with the Prairie Climate Centre, InsightShare, and Alberta Environment and Parks on a participatory video project to mobilize Indigenous knowledge of climate change.
Participants from the communities have planned, filmed, edited, and shared videos about the impacts of climate change in their territories. The videos tell powerful stories and document Indigenous knowledge on changes in seasons, water, animals, plants, medicines, human health, and cultural traditions.

On the Edge
Confronting climate change in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine
Wind-swept, remote, and jaw-droppingly beautiful. These are Quebec’s Îles-de-la-Madeleine. A narrow archipelago, surrounded on all sides by the unpredictable waters of the Gulf of St Lawrence, the islands are home to just under 13,000 souls who live mainly from fishing and tourism.
Like many small islands around the globe, the consequences of climate change are altering life here dramatically. Islanders are coming together to grapple with this reality and find local solutions, and are asking hard questions about the future.

Take Action
Climate change touches all of our lives, one way or another. Because it affects all aspects of modern life, there are many kinds of meaningful choices we can make that will help.
Climate change solutions start close to home, with simple actions in our own homes and families, but also involve new ways of thinking, planning, and acting in workplaces, neighbourhoods, and communities across the country.
See our "Take Action" topic for ideas and examples of innovative climate action taking place all across Canada.
