Bring Your Boomers Election Forum: Real Talk on Climate Change will bring together young voters with political candidates for a frank conversation about an issue of overriding concern to young people: namely, how to address the challenge of climate change in BC.
Bring Your Boomers events go beyond traditional panels or debates by presenting an engaging mix of intelligent conversation, media, storytelling and music to provide a culturally-driven entry point to discuss social transformation.
The event will include:
- Opening and closing performances by musical guest Au4
- Remarks from CCPA's Marc Lee about about the state of climate change legislation in BC
- An on-stage intergenerational dialogue about how to improve climate change legislation in BC with candidates David Eby (NDP), Jane Sterk (Green Party), Gabby Kalaw (Liberals), Duane Nickull (BC Conservatives) and Bob Simpson (Independent) and 3 young voters: Caleb Behn (from the documentary Fractured Land), Andrea Curtis (from Transformation Project and Get Your Vote On) and Sam Harrison (from Kids for Climate Action)
- Q&A and audience discussion
