CEA Award

The Honourable George Heyman, Minister of Environment & Climate Change Strategy presented awards recognizing the leadership of B.C. local governments and public-sector organizations at the Union of BC Municipalities convention.

"Local governments across B.C. are leading the way in the fight against climate change and our government is committed to helping them in this fight and showing real climate leadership at a provincial level," said Minister Heyman. "These awards highlight the many innovative actions communities are taking to achieve their greenhouse gas emission targets."

The City of North Vancouver's Safe and Active School Travel Program won in the Public-Sector Collaboration category.  Mayor Darrell Mussatto thanked all project partners for their support in increasing the number of kids walking and cycling to school. "Since 2014, this partnership between the School District, ICBC, TransLink, RCMP, Vancouver Coastal Health, the Recreation & Culture Commission and North Vancouver families has successfully reduced vehicle trips to school by 25%."
