    Our ‘kick-off’ meeting is March 3rd at 12:15 PM. Weekly meetings will follow. Get the invite below.

    This year, we are starting the Eastern Ottawa Urbanism Club, a dedicated time and place for east Ottawa residents who are interested in discussing how our community is built, how it moves, and how we can make our neighbourhoods more financially and socially resilient. Whether you’re a long-time advocate or just curious about why our streets look and feel the way they do, this is a low-pressure way to connect with others who care about the future of the east end.

    Our primary way of keeping in touch is a weekly virtual roundtable meeting held during the Tuesday lunch hour (12:15 PM on Tuesday is tentative until we establish it works for people)—perfect for a quick mid-week check-in on any local projects and policy discussions. To keep things grounded in the real world and to get to know each other, we also aim to meet up in person for lunch or an evening drink and/or chat every 4 to 6 weeks.

    I would also invite you to share ongoing projects or issues that might be relevant to the group in The New Orleans Forum.

    What is a Climate Fresk?

    The Climate Fresk is a nonprofit initiative founded in 2019 by Prof. Cédric Ringenbach. Its mission is to raise public awareness about climate change and empower people to take meaningful action.

    • 3-hour workshop — simple, fun, visual, creative, and engaging.

    • Based on science — 42 cards that summarize findings from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

    • Collaborative learning — participants co-create a “fresco” by connecting causes and consequences of climate change.

    • From insight to action — the second half explores the scale of the challenge and concrete solutions.

    Global impact: Over 2.3+ million people have participated, with 100,000+ trained as facilitators. Workshops now run in 150+ countriesand 45+ languages.

    Climate Fresk workshops are relatively new to Ottawa–Gatineau, and local organizers are building a broad-based program to match the format’s international success.


    Why join?

    • Build a clear, big-picture understanding of climate change

    • Discover practical, local actions you can take

    • Connect with neighbours and community groups

    Description:

    Solutions Series: Scaling Regenerative Materials to Help Replace Plastics
    Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2026
    Time:  3-4 pm ET

    As we work to transition away from single-use plastics, there are applications where the ideal solution—plastic-free, nontoxic reuse/refill systems—may not be immediately possible to implement. That’s where biobased and regenerative materials can help. So how can we assess which materials are truly “regenerative” and why, and which are just more greenwashing?

    On June 17, Plastic Pollution Coalition will host a webinar to discuss these issues and how two promising categories of regenerative materials—hemp and agricultural byproducts—are being produced and scaled to replace plastic while providing economic and environmental benefits across their life cycle.

    The panelists include Alexandra French, CEO of Xampla, producer of MorroTM materials from pea proteins, and Kimberly Kovacs, Founder & CEO of RENWa hemp packaging company. The webinar will be co-moderated by Erica Cirino, Communications Manager, Plastic Pollution Coalition, and Aidan Maguire, Business Partnerships Manager, Plastic Pollution Coalition.

    If you want to be part of the conversation and stay updated on ongoing discussions and meeting times, please join the mailing list or send an email using the links below:

    Our ‘kick-off’ meeting is March 3rd at 12:15 PM. Weekly meetings will follow. Get the invite below.

    This year, we are starting the Eastern Ottawa Urbanism Club, a dedicated time and place for east Ottawa residents who are interested in discussing how our community is built, how it moves, and how we can make our neighbourhoods more financially and socially resilient. Whether you’re a long-time advocate or just curious about why our streets look and feel the way they do, this is a low-pressure way to connect with others who care about the future of the east end.

    Our primary way of keeping in touch is a weekly virtual roundtable meeting held during the Tuesday lunch hour (12:15 PM on Tuesday is tentative until we establish it works for people)—perfect for a quick mid-week check-in on any local projects and policy discussions. To keep things grounded in the real world and to get to know each other, we also aim to meet up in person for lunch or an evening drink and/or chat every 4 to 6 weeks.

    I would also invite you to share ongoing projects or issues that might be relevant to the group in The New Orleans Forum.
