350.org Day of Action, Oct 24 
Climate Action Network is partnering with 350.org to help with the Global Day of Action on October 24. The theme of the day is to organizing an action incorporating the number 350 at an iconic place in their community, and then upload a photo of their event to 350.org website. 350.org collects these images from around the world and, with your help, delivers them to the media, world leaders, and elected officials. Actions are being planned across Canada, from Vancouver to Guelph to Ottawa.
Join an action or plan your own.
Go to 350.org to download resources and see where actions are being planned.
Council of Canadians has also posted information about the Oct 24 Day of Action:
350 refers to the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations (measured in parts per million volume or ppmv) that we need to achieve if we want to reduce the risk of catastrophic global warming. Today our current global greenhouse gas concentrations are 385ppmv.
