Climate Action Plan

In June 2024, Council authorized the Township of Oro-Medonte to join the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) Program. The Township of Oro-Medonte is currently working on gathering data to create a corporate and community greenhouse gas (GHG) baseline to achieve Milestone One of the PCP program. The Township will set a target for reduction as part of Milestone Two, and work with the community on developing a local climate change action plan as part of Milestone Three.

The PCP program is a national network of over 400 municipalities with the shared goal of taking action against climate change and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions. The PCP program provides municipalities support to reduce local greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve the quality of life for residents in their communities. The program is administered by ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI Canada) and the FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) and consists of a Five Step Milestone Framework that guides members on how to take action against climate change by reducing emissions.
