There are activists in our community who hope to bring to our attention issues they feel are significant. It is a vital part of our community if we hope to see and understand others who live in Northumberland.
Recently, two such groups want to focus our attention. The first event is The Trans Day of Remembrance. It is taking place this Saturday at the Cobourg Police Station and Victoria Hall. It will commemorate those who have died due to violence and bigotry against Trans people. It is the sixth time a local vigil has been held. Ashley Bouman, a local leader, will tell us about trans people in our community and what is being done to end this violence and hate.
Next, you will get a local perspective on a global issue. That is climate change. A major climate conference in Glasgow just ended last week. A lot happened at this meeting. Faye MacFarlane, a volunteer with Blue Dot Northumberland will help us understand what happened and how it impacts us here in the county.
