In this exciting series of online gatherings, David Suzuki and honoured guests discuss the most important issues and opportunities for action on climate and environmental justice.

Suzuki Session 3: Community Resilience to Escalating Climate Threats

Date: October 27, 2026
Time: 2 p.m. Pacific time (5 p.m. Eastern)

As climate emergencies like floods, heat waves and storms become more frequent and severe, one thing has become clear: in emergency situations, we can’t rely on our governments and services to respond immediately. Most governments state that people should be prepared to care for themselves and their families for 72 hours after an emergency strikes.

But emergency preparedness isn’t just about protecting our individual households. It’s about getting to know your neighbours and making a plan to work together so everyone is cared for and no one is left behind.

The third Suzuki Session will feature inspiring leaders who are working to help communities develop resilience in a time of worsening climate emergencies. David Suzuki and Tara Cullis will share learnings from their recent Stronger Together Tour, which took them through southern Ontario to meet with grassroots groups and local leaders working on community resilience and emergency preparedness.

Note: this is the long-awaited session that we had to postpone in the spring. Thanks for your patience while we rescheduled!

You’ll hear from:

David Suzuki
Tara Cullis
Jessie Hemphill, Sa̱nala Planning
Dr. Mili Roy, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and Ontario Climate Emergency Campaign
Sheila Murray, Community Resilience to Extreme Weather
