   Swedish activist Greta Thunberg coming to Vancouver for climate strike   
      
   Sixteen-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is heading to   
   Vancouver.   
      
   Fresh on the heels of her visit to Alberta, Thunberg will attend a climate   
   strike scheduled for the West Coast city on Friday morning.   
      
   Thunberg has become a global name after her #FridaysForFuture protests   
   inspired youth around the world to climate activism.   
      
   The teen began sitting outside the Swedish parliament every Friday to demand   
   climate action, popularizing the concept of youth climate strikes.   
      
   Youth climate group Sustainabiliteens has been organizing similar strikes in   
   Vancouver and said Thunberg’s appearance will help put pressure on elected   
   leaders.   
      
   “This Friday, we are calling on our government to come together around a   
   Green New Deal that legislates science-aligned emission reduction targets,   
   prioritizes Indigenous rights and creates good jobs for all,” said organizer   
   Rebecca Hamilton in a    
   media release.   
      
   “I was too young to vote in Monday’s election so I, along with the rest of   
   my generation, am raising my voice in the only way available to me: taking to   
   the streets,” she added.   
      
   In an effort to keep her travel as close to zero emissions as possible,   
   Thunberg crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat and has been travelling around   
   North America in a Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle.   
      
   Friday’s event takes place at  šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square (The   
   Vancouver Art Gallery’s North Plaza) at 11 a.m.
