Municipal Action Plan
In June 2024, Council authorized for the The Township of Oro-Medonte to join the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) Program. The Township of Oro-Medonte is currently working on gathering data to create a corporate and community greenhouse gas (GHG) baseline to achieve Milestone One of the PCP program. The Township will set a target for reduction as part of Milestone Two, and work with the community on developing a local climate change action plan as part of Milestone Three.
