About the Working Group on Climate Action
On June 18, council passed a motion to create the Working Group on Climate Action. This is one of many initiatives the City and community partners are involved in to reduce GHG emissions.
The Working Group on Climate Action has come together to promote, engage, inform, and challenge community organizations, institutions, and businesses to find immediate and inexpensive strategies to reduce GHG emissions in the ICI sector.
This group is led by co-chairs, Coun. Bridget Doherty and Daniel Hendry, the sustainable initiatives coordinator at Limestone District School Board. The membership includes representatives from organizations and the ICI sector, to help ensure a variety of perspectives are considered.
The Working Group on Climate Action meets regularly. These meetings are open to the public to attend and observe. Meeting dates can be found on the City’s calendar.
The Working Group on Climate Action will report its findings and recommendations to council at a regular meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 15.
