On Friday 27th September, a global climate strike will be held to highlight the climate crisis.

UBC students have planned an event from 11am to 12pm at the AMS Student Nest. After the UBC event, there are plans for people on campus to travel by bus and bike convoys to Vancouver City Hall, where the Global Climate Strike Vancouver will be held. 

Language Sciences supports this action and invites our members, our leadership, and our staff, to take part. As such, we will close our office from 11am to 12pm to accommodate this. 

We will also take this opportunity to think about how the Initiative can reduce our own impact on the climate, and will promote the action on social media.

You can read about UBC and the Global Climate Strike in a letter from President Santa Ono and Ainsley Carry, Vice-President, Students.
