All municipalities in Halton including the City of Burlington, the Towns of Halton Hills, Oakville and Milton, and Halton Region have declared climate change emergencies and are working to reduce impacts from their municipal operations and communities.
Halton Community Climate Plan
Building on this local momentum, Halton Environmental Network (HEN) is partnering with Halton Region to support the development of a Community Climate Plan for Halton. This work advances Halton Region’s participation in the Partners for Climate Protection program. To propel community involvement, the project team wants to hear from you! What are your priority climate actions and what do you think will inspire the Halton community to advance this work?
