The annual Climate Faire, hosted by BlueAct Marine Society at the Gibsons Public Market, celebrates the Sunshine Coast’s progress in reducing its climate footprint and building resilience. The event turns climate anxiety into action, sharing local success stories and hands-on solutions. With numerous exhibitors and panelists, the Sunshine Coast Climate Faire fosters dialogue on climate mitigation, adaptation, and collaboration for a resilient future.
This multi-evening event series launched in 2025, builds on the momentum of the Sunshine Coast’s first-ever Climate Faire. Featuring expert speakers and engaging topics, the series offers practical guidance on how individuals can reduce their climate impact and strengthen community resilience to extreme weather events. Join us to turn ideas into action and discover tangible steps you can take to make a difference.
