Your home insurance bill has probably doubled in the last decade.

Why?

The answer is climate change.

Climate change is now responsible for approximately 50% of all premium increases in Canada since 2008. That works out to $533 more per year for the average homeowner — over $3,000 in extra costs since 2020 alone.

Join us for our Dragonfly Walk! We will be visiting the Nashville Conservation Reserve, habitat of the Rapids Clubtail Dragonfly. This dragonfly has bluish-green eyes, with a light yellowish-green face that is striped with two dark lines, a brownish-black and yellowish-green striped body, and transparent wings. We'll be starting bright and early, as that's when the dragonflies are most active! We'll be guided by a dragonfly expert and learn how the proposed Highway 413 (which would pave over this area) puts the Rapids Clubtail (already threatened in Ontario) in harm's way.

Big Oil profits. Canadians pay the price.
Check out our recent backgrounder for the facts behind the pipeline push.
