“Coming Together and Sharing What We Love Most that We Hope Never to Lose to Climate Change"

Guelph, 3 October 2025 - CARE Program students came together for a reflective arts and wellness activity: the Climate Ribbon Project, a global story-sharing arts ritual that transforms climate grief into climate action.

Students were invited to share what they love most that they hope never to lose to climate change, writing their words on ribbons now tied at the installation hosted at “The How To Draw A Tree” Wellness Circle on Johnston’s Green at the University of Guelph.

This local version of the Climate Ribbon Project is supported by the CARE Program, the Student Wellness Centre, and community artist Dawn Matheson. 

The project kicked off 3 October, 2025 and will remain up indefinitely on Johnston Green at the University of Guelph, with participation open to all communities who are willing to share the beloved things they stand to lose to climate chaos and commit to protecting our planet.

To join in this initiative, visit the installation at Johnston’s Green and/or share your ribbon or reflections with #GuelphClimateRibbonProject
