The new Cortes Climate Action Network is hosting its first event:
Climate Café!

Friday Jan 24, 1–3PM in the Pioneer Room at Manson’s Hall.

Free coffee, tea, cookies and conversation!

The aim of our first café is to start a conversation about the climate and resiliency implications of the DRAFT zoning bylaw revisions published in December.

We will offer a very brief overview of the proposed changes. Then, we’d like to focus on our Rural Zone. What are the advantages and disadvantages of allowing more density in the wilder parts of Cortes? How might more homes — and people — on our most rural properties affect our climate impacts and community resiliency in these changing times?

Lastly, based on the overview of the proposed changes, we’ll take your feedback on what other topics within the zoning bylaw update you’d like to put that climate and resiliency lens on at near-future cafés.

Hope to see you there, but if you can’t make it and want to converse or provide input, you can reach us at cortesclimateproton.me. You can also reach out directly to the SRD at https://srd.ca/feedback-cortes-zoning-bylaw-review-project/

This event is being paid for through a generous microgrant awarded by the Cortes Foundation.
