End of year picnic

Menzies for Climate enjoys coming together with our members and supporters on a regular basis. In early December we are holding a end of year picnic. It provides the opportunity for some wonderful conversations and an opportunity to meet up for the purpose of listening to others’ ideas on activities to bring local communities together and to advocate, inform and educate on the issues we care about.

We’ll meet at Ruffey Lake Park in the heart of the Menzies electorate at The Boulevarde picnic area. Entrance via The Boulevarde, Doncaster. Bring a picnic, chair, rug. There are BBQs and seating but they may be busy. Come and enjoy meeting fellow Menzies for Climate members and switching-off for the year.

Blackburn Market Stalls

Menzies for Climate have our stall every month at the Blackburn Craft Market. It is run by the Rotary Club from 9am to 1pm on the second Saturday of every month.

Our focus at the Market is on sustainability and the environment. Come along and have a chat. We are happy to share ideas, and have information and items that help make a difference.

Local Community Events

Local community events are invaluable in bringing people together to share experiences; to get to know each other; and to learn about the social and physical environment they are a part of. Menzies for Climate appreciate these opportunities.

Current Campaigns

Menzies For Climate runs campaigns such as lobbying Senators and Members of Parliament and having rallies outside politicians’ ’s offices to draw attention to the issues relevant to our mission.

Meetings with Federal, State and local politicians

Menzies for Climate have had regular meetings with Menzies MP, Gabriel Ng. He has organised for Menzies for Climate and other local groups to meet MP Josh Wilson in his office. Josh Wilson is the MP for Fremantle WA and is the Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy, and for Emergency Management. ACF Eastern Rosellas, Parents for Climate, Asian Australians for Climate Solutions, Lighter Footprints Forest Group and Menzies for Climate heard about the actions and policies of this Government, expressed appreciation for work done, and hope for the implementation of future major reforms.
