City Forms Climate Action Group

Vernon Council has given the green light to a new Climate Action Task Force to address climate change in the community.

The group will be made up of reps from science and technology, education, business and health, as well as community stewardship groups.

Members of the community at large and youth will also be represented.

Over the next two years, the Climate Action Task Force will develop a series of recommendations for Council’s consideration with regard to setting greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, developing strategies to meet those targets, growing community awareness about climate action and addressing other climate change matters that arise during that time.
