Hey
@cathmckenna
! I looked into some green solutions I can purchase with my Climate Action Incentive. Great to know that putting a price on pollution gives more money to families, so they can make their lifestyles greener - and the rebate grows each year!
A number of vigils were held today to honour those who died in the crash of Flt 752 and bring comfort to those left behind.Sincere thanks to Tirgan for organizing the vigil at UofT and to Parya Trillium for bringing us together in Markham. Together, we can help each other.
