Today the City of Ottawa posted its new climate change management plan. This is a draft that will be considered at the city's Environment Committee meeting next Tuesday May 20.
The public can attend city hall meetings like this. It starts at 10am in the main council chambers and may run 2 hours or so.
Within the next few days Ecology Ottawa will provide a summary of what this city plan means but in the mean time if you wish to read it you can download the plan here.
