In recent months, Tessier has joined demonstrations and mobilization events whenever it’s possible to maintain the sanitation guidelines. Among other things, she has participated in the “Wake Up Calice” initiative, as well as an ecological revival camp at the Place des Festivals, which kicked off in July. She has also taken part in the ongoing “Salis Pas Mon Cash” campaign against the Royal Bank of Canada.

“After a protest, I feel like I’ve done something useful, that I’ve tried to do my small part in turning history toward environmentalism. I’m also proud because it’s really cool to know that you’re making an impact on people, either by recruiting them or by impacting the media.” “If I say ‘Oh no, I can’t go to the party, because I have a climate meeting,’ that’s still a little different from most young people my age,” says Tessier, who is also an ambassador for the programme Jeunes leaders pour l’environnement . “But still, young people are pretty informed [about climate change], so it does get a reaction, but not a really big one.” What surprises people her age more is the fact that Tessier doesn’t have a cellphone, due the to pollution they cause.

“We need to take more radical action. We need people who have the courage to do it, because otherwise, the message won’t get through,” says Tessier, who says she is ready to take on the potential consequences of civil disobedience, such as getting arrested.
