Other initiatives of the LCA Environment Committee
We participate in other initiatives as they arise, such as those related to waste, encouraging recycling and the green bin programme, parking studies, Market revitalization issues, the campaign to ban bottled water in City buildings and events.
Monitoring the City’s Environment Committee
Our current Councillor, Mathieu Fleury, sits on the Environment Committee and we continue to monitor and share the activities of this committee and input where related to our environmental priorities.
Encouraging the support of our elected representatives
During election periods, we ensure environmental issues are raised at all-candidates debates.
Transportation
LCA believes the transportation choices we make on a daily basis affect not only the liveability of our community but the environment as well. Walking, cycling and other forms of active transportation help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a healthy community.
