Whale calls for county climate change committee

A Wellington County councillor wants the county to look at ways to deal with climate change.

Councillor Bruce Whale, mayor of Mapleton, raised the issue at county council on May 29 after similar concerns were raised at a planning committee meeting earlier in the month.

Whale presented a notice of motion which is expected to come up for debate at the June council meeting.

The motion states, “The staff be directed to oversee the establishment of a broad-based committee to identify probable impacts of climate change and to propose a course of adaptation and remediation for Wellington County.”
