You’re Invited: Online Community Climate Conversation

Municipality Inviting Residents to Join the Community Climate Conversation

The Municipality of Inverness County is inviting residents to have a say about climate change hazards in their community in an online Community Climate Conversation on Thursday, November 12.

The Community Climate Conversation is an online workshop hosted by McAllister & Craig Disaster Management Inc. The conversation will help inform a climate risk assessment and adaptation plan currently underway across several municipalities in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador.

This online workshop is an opportunity for residents to have a conversation about how climate change is already affecting their communities, identify key vulnerable infrastructure, and share ideas and suggested priorities for protecting these assets.

The conversation is for everyone; no need to be a climate change expert. The community’s input will help inform the climate adaptation plan being developed for the Municipality and contribute to a safer, stronger, and more inclusive future.

Workshop details

The free workshop will take place online on Thursday, November 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. To reserve a spot and get the session link, register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/inverness-county-climate-change-community-workshop-tickets-1999779088085?aff=oddtdtcreator.

About the project

The climate risk assessment and adaptation plan is funded through the Green Municipal Fund, administered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Led by McAllister & Craig Disaster Management Inc., the project involves identifying climate-related risks across Inverness County, evaluating how climate change may impact local communities, and developing strategies to address these risks.

McAllister & Craig are engaging with municipal staff and the public to gather data which will be used to create a plan that ensures climate risks are identified and communities are prepared and protected.
