Climate change is a global issue that starts with local action. Canada's climate is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world according to Environment Canada. National climate trends show a steady rise in seasonal and annual temperatures, with more intense precipitation events throughout the year. Changes in Orillia include stronger wind storms, more frequent heavy rain events and warmer winters, which are affecting the community in various ways.
Orillia's Climate Future encompasses all the actions and planning that the City of Orillia is undertaking to reduce our environmental impact and strengthen the community's resilience to the effects of climate change.
The City is committed to taking action to combat climate change through greenhouse gas reductions and through adapting our natural, built and social systems to these new conditions. New projects at the City include the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) and the Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, as well as investments in electric vehicle charging stations and LED lighting upgrades. Established programs include waste diversion, solar energy and promoting local sustainable businesses.
