Riel, Baldwin to host climate change talk
Ashburnham Ward’s councillors will host a special presentation on climate change Wednesday. Keith Riel and Gary Baldwin will present guest speaker Kate Grierson, a climate change expert, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Lions Community Centre on Burnham Street.
Grierson will discuss how to tackle climate change issues at the local level.
The event will also include a discussion on how the city can make changes to address climate change.
“The environment is an extremely important consideration at every level of government, but changes need to be mindful and with citizens involved,” Riel stated.
“The citizens of Peterborough have shown time and time again that they have excellent ideas that should be brought forward to city council, local politicians need to ensure they listen and engage with them.”
Admission is free and includes light refreshments, and everyone is welcome.
