MD of Bonnyville Ward 1 Coun. Josh Crick has put forward a notice of motion to proclaim Nov. 2 until Nov. 8 Climate Stability Awareness Week, in opposition of climate change activism.
The motion was read into the Oct. 8 council record and will be debated at the Oct. 22 council meeting.
Crick read out the notice of motion, which states, “Whereas we know that the weather may change from day to day, and whereas the climate is relatively consistent from year to year, and whereas there is little to be concerned about as the Earth's climate is very predictable, and whereas to counter the constant drum beat of climate change activism now therefore be it resolved that Council approves the proclamation of Nov. 2 to 8, 2024 as Climate Stability Awareness Week in the Municipal District of Bonnyville.”
Crick believes there are residents within his ward who do not believe in climate change, and felt there needs to be a response to what he describes as climate change activism.
