For the next scheduled member appointment in April, roughly half the members will be appointed to one-year terms, with the rest appointed to two-year terms. After this, members will be appointed to two-year terms, resulting in staggered member appointments.

The terms have also been changed to state that committee members may assist with municipal-led climate action activities, as led by staff.

The committee will be made up of five citizen representatives, a council member and the municipality’s sustainability/alternative energy coordinator.

The committee’s mandate is to provide a local perspective and advice to council with respect to achieving community-wide greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
