This is a FREE event open to all those interested in furthering the discussion on climate action in BC.

This multimedia PlanTalk session will showcase successful municipal approaches to addressing climate change, focusing on GHG emission reduction. Come hear more about how Bill 27 [the Local Government (Green Communities) Statutes Amendment Act] provides local governments with additional powers to make changes in their communities. If you are looking for inspiration on how to reduce GHGs in your community, this session is for you.

Get engaged in a discussion with speakers from the government, private, non-profit and academic sectors. Take away tools learned from the experiences of SFU UniverCity, Vancouver’s Northeast False Creek, North Vancouver, Langford as well as several other communities across BC. If you attended the PIBC land summit in the spring, this event will provide a great update!

Alex Boston, Director, Climate Protection & Sustainable Energy, HB Lanarc
Dale Littlejohn, Manager of Community Outreach and Strategy, Community Energy Association
