Municipal Action Plan
In September 2018, the Town joined the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Partners for Climate Protection Program, officially making a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).
SSS and the Town of Midland continue to work together to increase awareness of the local impacts of climate change, recognize the GHG emission reduction initiatives by the municipality and the community, and identify new opportunities to further reduce GHGs and decrease the Town’s environmental footprint.
