Council established the Georgian Bluffs Climate Action Committee in October 2020, for the purposes of creating a Township Climate Action Plan.
The Plan is a call to action for all parts of our community to take steps that reduce our contributions to global climate change and build a better future.

There are many benefits of a Climate Change Action Plan for the community, businesses, and the local economy.
Some of these benefits include:
• Reduced energy costs as a result of more energy efficient technologies and practices.
• Reduced air pollution and improved health from more active transportation, public transit, and carpooling;
• Increased energy security through use of more renewable energy systems and reduced power outages and interruptions;
• New jobs and economic growth in the building and construction industries and clean energy sector;
• Growing tourism industry from the expansion of electric vehicle use, conservation of our natural heritage, and investment in more sustainable practices;
• Economic growth in the agricultural industry as a result of more efficient agricultural practices; and
• Other social and health benefits as a result of ecological conservation, better waste practices, and sustainable land-use planning.
Everyone has a role to play in mitigating and adapting to climate change. This page will be updated to include Council meeting reports, developments made in the plan, and opportunities for public engagement. We will reach out through emails and social media to invite participation in our surveys. Want to stay connected? Select 'receive email updates' below, to be added to our mailing list.
