Ecology Ottawa
What is Green Screen Ottawa?
Green Screen Ottawa is a climate change film series organized by local Ottawa residents, just like you!
With support from Ecology Ottawa, our goal is to engage our communities on climate action through a series of film screenings held across Ottawa to inspire local action on global issues and show that by working on climate change in our own backyard we can have an impact on one of the world’s most pressing issues.
All screenings are pay-what-you-can (PWYC) and aim to be accessible to everyone!
