“As a rural community, one of the ways we support our urban neighbours is through the care of our natural and ecological resources that benefit the population as a whole. Although our influence over carbon emissions may be less in urban areas, smaller communities play an important role in responding to a changing climate, and in joining the PCP program, we are demonstrating that climate action is important to our municipality, and sending that message to our community and to our guests.” – Nicholas Popovich, former Director of Development Services and Sustainability Committee representative
