Why My City is Cool
The Capital Regional District (CRD) is the regional government for the 13 municipalities and three electoral areas that are located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It is leading the way in planning for a sustainable energy future.
On February 13th 2008, the regional government unanimously adopted a community energy plan and the creation of a monitoring function to measure greenhouse gas reductions. The regional Climate Action Plan will cut greenhouse gas emissions 33% by 2020.
The plan targets action for improving energy efficiency in buildings, increasing transportation efficiency, encouraging energy efficient land use planning, diversifying energy supplies, educating residents and businesses, and showing local government leadership.
The Cool Capital Coalition has helped bring about such leadership in the region. They are:
