The City of Orillia has launched a public survey to assist in the development of the Community Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), Orillia’s Climate Future.
The plan will identify how Orillia can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions locally to reduce the impacts of climate change globally and will guide the future growth of Orillia to help it follow a sustainable path for future generations.
“A Community Climate Change Action Plan is only as good as the input and buy-in we receive from the community. We are at a climate crisis crossroad and your input is vital. That is why we want to hear directly from you on what meaningful actions we can take to reduce Orillia’s carbon footprint. Together we can work towards a more sustainable future locally, which will have positive ripple effects globally,” said Mayor Steve Clarke.
Residents are encouraged to contribute their feedback through the survey on the community’s priorities and vision statements about Orillia’s approach to climate change. These vision statements will act as guiding principles for climate action to ensure that the plan captures the concerns and perspectives of the citizens of Orillia. The statements touch on topics such as economic vibrance, social equity, zero waste, low-emitting transportation, renewable energy and green spaces.
The online survey will close on Sept. 20, 2021 at 4 p.m.
Hard copy versions of the survey are available at the main reception at Orillia City Centre, 50 Andrew St. S.
