Join us for a panel discussion to learn how climate change will impact the region

We’ll look at what actions are needed to reduce our carbon footprint and ultimately achieve “one planet living”.
With droughts, floods and wildfires becoming more common in BC, we know climate change is already happening and that we need to drastically reduce our impact. But what does climate change look like for our local communities, and what can we do?
