The Steering Committee will offer expert advice in the development of the Community Energy and Emissions Plan from a cross-departmental and community perspective – for example, from industry, utilities, small and large businesses, universities, NGOs, First Nations, and Municipal Council. This may include about 10-15 individuals or groups. Committee membership will be determined by the Colchester Project Team, with feedback from SSG.

Implementation workshop

When: March 2021, specifics to be confirmed closer to the date

Where: Zoom

Who: Any residents of Colchester

This zoom workshop will engage the community and stakeholders in identifying implementation considerations for each of the actions. The workshop will begin with a short presentation on the preferred future scenario for Colchester. Participants will then be divided into groups of three or four people (e.g. EVs, transportation, buildings, active transportation, etc.) to identify implementation considerations. They will then come back to the larger group to share their insights.
