Even though Justin Trudeau decided not to move into the prime minister’s official residence for the time being, a group of environmental activists still plans on bringing him a housewarming gift to 24 Sussex.
As their way of saying “welcome” to the new prime minister, international climate action group 350.org is sponsoring a four-day long sit-in in front of 24 Sussex starting Thursday to demand that Trudeau put Canada on the path to a clean energy economy.
And on Sunday, the last day of the sit-in, participants are also giving him a set of Canadian-made solar panels to work into the home’s much-needed renovations.
“It will be a gift with a bit of a catch … we want to see those panels hooked up and powering the Prime Minister’s residence after the renovations,” reads a post on www.climatewelcome.ca, the website created for the event.
In addition to the solar panels, participants will be delivering other “welcome gifts” to the prime minister’s doorstep on each of the four days, including scientific reports, broken treaties with First Nations, and petitions opposing pipelines and oil sands expansion.
“For the past ten years, this country has become an international pariah on climate change, but it’s time for people in Canada to stop apologizing for our government and take bold action,” reads the website.
According to the website, the sit-in is a collaborative project between people and groups across the country and being supported by the Council of Canadians, the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition, and 350.org,
Organizers at 350.org did not respond to the Citizen’s calls for an interview.
350.org advocates for political action to combat global warming. The organization predicts the event could be “the largest act of climate civil disobedience in Canadian history,” according to a media release. Hundreds of people from across the country to will allegedly assemble in front of 24 Sussex over the course of the weekend, including youth and Indigenous leaders.
Participants have been encouraged to complete a training session and a legal briefing the evening before attending, and to not damage any property or carry any weapons during the sit-in.
A post published on the website on Oct. 23 said 350.org decided to keep the sit-in at 24 Sussex despite Trudeau’s absence because of its significance as a house that “belongs to the nation” and because it’s a location the prime minister “won’t be able to ignore.”
The Trudeaus are now living in Rideau Cottage behind the governor general’s residence, a fact the protesters have taken into account.
“In the unlikely event that we arrive to find 24 Sussex completely shut down,” they write, “we have a plan to cross the street and take out (sic) sit-in to the grounds of the Prime Ministers temporary residence at Rideau Hall.”
