About KICLEI Canada

Local Action. Real Impact.

At KICLEI Canada, we believe in putting local communities first. Our mission is simple:
Support Canadians in reclaiming local decision-making and resisting global programs that undermine our autonomy.

We help people across the country understand what's really behind top-down policies like the FCM-ICLEI Partners for Climate Protection (PCP), and we equip them with the tools to act locally, confidently, and strategically.

Our Vision

A Canada where:

  • Communities lead their own decisions

  • Resources are managed responsibly

  • Democracy is protected

  • Freedom and dignity are respected

We believe localism over globalism is key to protecting Canada’s sovereignty and future.

What We’re Doing in 2025

We're keeping it simple and focused:

  • Writing reports and templates for councils

  • Running Zoom strategy calls across Canada

  • Organizing a national speaking tour

  • Offering practical support for residents, organizers, and councillors

KICLEI is growing quickly, and while we’re still informal, our community is strong, active, and getting results.

What We've Helped Achieve:

✅ Thorold withdrew from the PCP program
✅ Tiny Township initiated a full cost review
✅ Renfrew County commissioned a CO₂ sequestration report proving they’re a carbon sink

Meet Maggie Hope Braun

Maggie is the founder of KICLEI Canada and a long-time advocate for local autonomy.

Her journey started in New Guinea, St. Lucia, and small-town Ontario—experiences that shaped her deep respect for nature, cultural identity, and self-sufficiency.

After studying ecosystem management, she began to question global climate narratives and uncovered how international agendas were influencing local Canadian policies without public debate.

Through KICLEI, Maggie:

  • Writes reports and resolutions for municipal councils

  • Hosts training workshops and town halls

  • Supports grassroots leaders across Canada

She believes Canada can lead the world by protecting sovereignty, fostering local solutions, and rejecting overreach.
