Today is World Environment Day — where we have an opportunity to reflect on what we all need to do to improve our environment.
This year's theme is “biodiversity”, which comes at a time where 1 million species are facing extinction.
Also happening today is a small climate change awareness event outside of City Hall, hosted by the Citizens' Climate Lobby - Dauphin Chapter.
The event will run this afternoon from 12:15 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Co-chair Rebecca Van Otterloo says the event will follow public health guidelines, with respect to physical distancing and the province's 50 person limit for outdoor gatherings.
“The ongoing issue of climate change remains just as real and urgent as ever. We just welcome people to join us and explore those solutions and be apart of building a liveable future together.”
The group has invited Dauphin City Council to take part.
