From heat waves to heavy rains, and floods, Montrealers have experienced a summer of extreme weather. It was the rainiest season ever recorded in the city.
On Friday, nearly two dozen Quebec cities took part in climate strikes, including one right here in Montreal.
The march was planned by Pour la suite du monde. It began at the George-Étienne Cartier Monument, and ended at metro Bonaventure.
They say the Quebec government needs to implement a social and ecological change and that society as a whole needs to be consulted – as it affects generations to come.
This comes exactly five years after half a million Montrealers took the streets to walk alongside environmental activist Greta Thunberg during a climate march, marking a global movement.
Today – they are still calling for action to fight climate change.
