The Great Suburban Walk
There’s a federal election on its way, yet our political leaders continue to backflip, delay and deny on climate change. With so much at stake, it’s time for the community to put climate action back on the election agenda.
The 2010 Walk Against Warming demand that our political leaders face up to their responsibility on climate change. We’ll remind them that to secure our votes, they must ‘Walk with the People, Not the Big Polluters’.
This year we took our message for a safe climate straight to the people that matter most – the voters.
We coordinated hundreds of Victorians in three key electorates (Melbourne, Deakin and La Trobe) to come together and letterbox. To make sure that voters in those areas know exactly what actions our leaders need to take on climate change.
So that means that less than one week before the federal election, up to 300,000 of the most influential voters in Victoria will receive our safe climate message. How good!

This morning, on Nov. 5, 2025, Premier David Eby; Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations; Mayor Garry Reece, Lax Kw’alaams; Jason Alsop, president, Haida Nation; Paula Amos, Indigenous Tourism B.C.; and Clarence Innis, Hereditary Elder, all signed the following declaration:
The North Coast Protection Declaration
“For generations, communities have built and sustained the economy of the North Coast – a legacy that continues today through a multibillion-dollar, sustainable conservation economy that supports thousands of livelihoods in fisheries, tourism, renewable energy and stewardship.
“Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
“The Great Bear Rainforest agreements have directly created more than 1,400 permanent jobs and 140 new businesses to date – and counting. In the past 15 years, the conservation economy has generated nearly $2 billion in economic value for British Columbia and for Canada. This is economy that invests back into communities, setting the foundation for ongoing prosperity.
“The oil tanker ban is the result of over 50 years of advocacy from First Nations and coastal communities, and supported by federal and provincial governments of all political stripes. Formalized into law in 2019, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act did not create this protection – it codified a longstanding commitment that has kept one of the most ecologically and culturally rich marine regions on Earth safe from the threat of crude-oil spills.
“Repealing the tanker ban would risk near-term major projects and cheat B.C.’s economy out of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments. Over the long term, the consequence of a crude-oil spill in these waters would be generations of lost livelihoods and irreversible ecological damage.
“We urge the federal government to stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban. Protecting the North Coast is not an item for negotiation – it is a national responsibility, and it is a quantifiable investment in Canada’s treasured marine environment and the economic prosperity of future generations.
“We choose progress.
“We choose protection.
“We choose: Our Economy. Our Coast.”

Volunteers worked on Discovery Hill to care for a network of naturalistic trails and paths. Their work focused on remulching pathways, which not only provide visitor access to the south island’s sweeping views but also create a healthy soil environment for the area’s native plantings.

A six-acre tidal wetlands restoration completed in 2006 lines the Anacostia River near RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2024. The restoration complements larger efforts in Kingman Lake, near Kingman and Heritage Islands, and was funded by the District Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Kingman and Heritage islands were created in 1903 using dredge spoils from the Anacostia River, which had filled in with eroded sediment from centuries of development beginning in the 1700s. After a seawall was constructed on both sides of the Anacostia in the early 1900s, the river had lost about 90% of its wetlands. But efforts in recent years have brought some wetlands back to the river, including at Kingman Lake. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
