-How the City works determines how we work in it
-When we think about all of the structures that support our life on Earth, it all comes back to Climate Change.
-We’re talking about reducing, in Thunder Bay’s case, a million tons of carbon dioxide. That’s going to take every single sector.
-Some concerns for Thunder Bay are very strong, like forest fire and infrastructure capacity to support folks seeking refuge when their communities are experiencing Climate events.
-Our City can be a leader. I think we underestimate the power that we have.
