Energy Poverty, and Peace: Two Events Building A Better Future

Here at the CCTF, we are evolving to support the movements being built. Out of our 2025 chrysalis, our wings are still wet but as no movement waits for everything to be neatly in place, we continue to make space for change as we prepare for flight.

Join us at these upcoming events:

CCTF member Eric Leviten-Reid and Mal Rose are co facilitating a project with the Ecology Action Centre building grassroots advocacy for solutions to energy poverty ie. lowering our energy costs with sustainable solutions. This project aims to uplift community voices in the conversation around energy solutions with the hopes of bridging the gap between what communities actually want and need, and what organizations and governments imagine might work.

The project will take place in two phases: 1. a series of small group sessions held in different parts of CBRM where participants will share their experiences with energy poverty and explore possible responses; 2. a half-day forum to share the results of these sessions with interested government and community leaders and consider next steps.

To register for either upcoming session on May 6th, at Townhouse or Port Morien Legion, email mahlakairose@gmail.com.

Meeting the moment of tough literal and metaphorical weather, CCTF member Janet Bickerton is co organizing a gathering for peace at the United Heritage Church on Sunday, May 17th at 2pm (doors open at 1:30pm). Join there for an afternoon of music, snacks, and most importantl, connection.
