“I am thrilled with Council’s unanimous support of my motion to align Vancouver’s 2023-2026 capital plan with increased climate emergency action,” said Councillor Adriane Carr. “Having experienced, just in the last six months, a lethal heat dome, ‘atmospheric river’ of rain and record sub-zero temperatures, Vancouverites know their future is looking grim if we don’t tackle the climate emergency now. Last fall, City staff informed Council that we don’t have enough money budgeted for the measures needed to meet our GHG-reduction goals; measures like retrofitting community centres and libraries in every neighbourhood so people have safe places in times of extreme heat or cold. Council’s vote helps put Vancouver back on track.”
