Climate Change Task Force

We are a group of citizens of Unama’ki (Cape Breton Island) deeply concerned about environmental degradation and climate change and the impacts on all living beings. We aim to promote environmental awareness and concrete action to combat climate change through education, advocacy, community mobilization, and investment in local green initiatives.

We envision inclusive, resilient and environmentally conscious communities where equity and respect for diversity ensure that prosperity is understood as wellbeing for all. We seek to support individuals, businesses and government in growing the green economy. We imagine forging relationships with individuals, organizations and communities outside of our region who share a belief in advancing the right to a healthy environment.

Victory for West Mabou Beach Provincial Park

The CCTF is extremely pleased to hear the provincial government’s announcement today that a golf course will not be constructed within the protected West Mabou Beach Provincial Park. We owe a huge thank you to Nadine Hunt and the Save West Mabou Beach Provincial Park team for working tirelessly to ensure this provincial park remains intact for future generations to enjoy. The CCTF would also like to acknowledge all the work and advocacy from the local community and those from away who wrote letters, called elected officials, and shared posts on social media. When we come together, great things do happen!

This momentous milestone reminds us that gaps remain in our protected parks legislation. Our collective efforts will require advocating for our government to improve this legislation so that protected parks remain perpetually protected.
