Grey County has voted to become a member of the Ontario Clean Air Council.
Ggrey County Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Randy Scherzer says the council, which is comprised of over 30 upper-and-local-tier municipalities, "works collaboratively on clean air and climate change actions."
It also allows Grey access to various resources, the ability to network and connect with those other municipalities, which is where the clear benefits come in for being a part of the council.
Current priorities include corporate climate action, emission reduction, and integrating climate considerations into municipal decision-making.
Scherzer says joining the council also signals the county's ongoing commitment to the 'Going Green in Grey' climate targets, which highlights realistic and actionable steps both the county and its residents can make to reduce greenhouse gas pollution.
