“The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly clear to all of us as we experience more adverse weather events,” said Mayor Linda Buchanan.

“These challenges require all levels of government to redouble their efforts in building a low carbon and sustainable future. The City of North Vancouver is recognized as a leader in innovative and progressive climate policy and programs. The Climate and Environment Strategy will incorporate new and existing policies to act as the City’s roadmap as we plan for a greener future. I encourage all residents to share their ideas.”
