Meet the Working Group

A dedicated team from the City, with the guidance of ICLEI Canada, will lead the effort to minimize the negative impacts of climate change by addressing local risks and identifying opportunities to increase resilience. We'll bring together City staff, community partners, and local organizations who are directly affected by climate change or can take action as part of a Climate Change Adaptation Plan Working Group.

This Working Group will use climate projections and data to identify the greatest risks to our community. A shared vision, objectives, and set of strategies will be created to tackle the impacts of climate change now and in the future. The final plan will include comprehensive implementation considerations, steering the course of climate action in the coming years.
