Regional Climate Plan

Not only do I want to highlight great things happening in our Region with the #365ofgoodWR project, but to also encourage individuals to take action to bring good to the community as well. Today I want to mention two opportunities for you to do exactly that.

​The Region of Waterloo is looking for feedback on its Community Climate Adaptation Plan and you can fill out a survey here. The survey closes tomorrow though so take a moment to fill it out soon. Although I think there's some positive steps in the plan, I personally would like to see far more focus on climate change mitigation and not just adaptation. But I encourage you to review it yourselves and provide your own feedback.

Regional Council is also considering a declaration of a Climate Emergency at this Wednesday's meeting. Following up on last week's Climate Action Strike, this is another way to voice your support for our government to take important steps to address the climate crisis. The meeting is at 7pm and you can find out more details here, including about how to register if you'd like to speak as a delegation.
