Brockville/Leeds-Grenville Just Transition Event

The climate emergency requires Canada to eliminate fossil fuel use by 50% over the next eight years. This means that Brockville/Leeds-Grenville, like all municipalities, will need to undertake a Just Transition; a large and timely effort that will build upon the unique characteristics of this community through local action that involves everyone. This goal of this non-partisan event is to raise local awareness and support for Just Transition legislation that will assist the climate emergency planning of Brockville/Leeds Grenville and Canada at large. Beginning at 11:30 am, the event will involve an imaginary ribbon cutting for local projects announced by the "Ministry of Just Transition". Of course, the Ministry of Just Transition doesn’t actually exist. However, there is a need for action to ensure that Brockville/Leeds Grenville will have the necessary jobs, training and support for a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Our communities are experiencing the growing impact of extreme climate change. The fossil fuel era is ending. It's 2022 and there is no time to waste. That’s why we’re taking action together across Canada on March 12th, to put our vision for a Just Transition on full display. Please direct any inquiries to Phil Dawes: [email protected]
