Council Talks Climate Change

With a backdrop of closures on Rose Beach Line and Talbot Trail due to erosion, historically high water in the Thames, Sydenham, Lake St.Clair and Lake Erie, local politicians will debate declaring a climate emergency.

According to the motion, the impacts of climate change could be catastrophic to the local economy and municipal budget.

Sarnia recently made a similar declaration, and the federal government passed a motion in June recognizing a national climate emergency.

Also on the agenda Monday is an update from Peter Zuzek, who is working on a shoreline strategy report.
