A West Kelowna woman is leading a climate march in Kelowna on Sept. 17.
91裸聊视频淚 decided if I can91裸聊视频檛 join a protest, I91裸聊视频檓 going to make one myself,91裸聊视频� said Bobbi Vojtko, a school teacher with School District 23.
Vojtko and her family were evacuated from their home in Shannon Lake when a wildfire swept through the Central Okanagan.
The family first moved to the Okanagan six years ago and Vojtko said each year since there has been threat from a wildfire.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 worried for my children. We moved to the Okanagan because we love the outdoors but what will the future look like? How many smokey days, heat domes and extreme wildfires do we have to live through?91裸聊视频�
The school teacher had intended to join planned climate protests in the area, but her research found no such events planned. Vojtko made the decision to host the protest herself.
91裸聊视频淚 have never done this before, and I am not a seasoned activist. Like many other people, I feel anxious and need to do something,91裸聊视频� adds Vojtko. 91裸聊视频淭his is an event for everyone. You don91裸聊视频檛 have to have all the answers but if you are concerned about wildfires, drought and extreme heat, we need you to attend.91裸聊视频�
In partnership with the Okanagan Climate Hub, Vojtko91裸聊视频檚 protest will start at noon outside Kelowna City Hall. The hope is to bring people from all political spectrums together to show city leaders that citizens care about climate action and something needs to be done.
