Sackville resident Penny Mott is part of a group of seniors concerned about the climate crisis, and planning to show that concern in a rally and awareness event on Tuesday in Sackville.
“Many of us are sitting in our homes and we’re distressed about with the dramatic climatic changes we’re experiencing,” says Mott. That’s why Mott is helping organize a Seniors For Climate event at the Bill Johnstone Memorial Park on Tuesday, October 1st, from 11am to 1pm. The event is open to all ages, and part of a national initiative to coincide with National Seniors Day on October 1st, with over 70 events happening across the country.
“There is a real reason, too many reasons, for us to stand up and tell the political leaders and the corporations in our country that we need to have more intense action addressing the climate,” says Mott.
