Toronto East Residents for Renewable Energy
In the midst of the climate crisis, the Ford government is ramping up the use of gas electricity production across Ontario. Instead of investing in affordable and safe renewable energy, the Ontario government has already expanded the output capacity of the Portlands plant in order to rely on this ‘peaker’ plant as a base-load plant. In the summer of 2023, the plant ran 21 hours per day.
TERRE is demanding a phase out of the PEC gas plant by 2030, despite the completed expansion, and a rapid, just transition to safe and affordable renewable energy.
TERRE Hosts Earth Day Globe Walk Event
East Lynn Park – Sat. April 18 – 9:30-10:30am
On Saturday April 18, Artists for Real Climate Action and other climate groups will be walking a giant globe across the city to demand climate action from the province. The globe will be stopping at various celebratory events, called Re-Charging Stations, at parks along the way for performances, children’s activities, and petition signing. TERRE is hosting the Re-Charging Station at East Lynn Park on Sat. April 18 from 9:30-10:30. Come and join us at East Lynn Park or another park! You can also sign up to walk with the globe for part of the day; see details on the website.
