Testimonies From Past Volunteers
Claire Buchanan
Sustainable Orillia
"What I found fascinating was the citizen-based research aspect of this whole report. It was neat to see the 57 cities participate and how the actions of a group of volunteers can contribute so much information to a community-based report. It just goes to show that a small group of people can make a difference!"
Eve Layman
Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association
"I felt that the report was an excellent tool to engage municipalities around successful actions that cities can take to impact climate change."
Pamela Nicholas
Climate Reality Project Regional Organizer
"It was interesting for me to discover more about my community's planning to deal with the climate crisis."
