Updated target
To meet this target, our updated CEI identifies ways to:
1. Take actions within our sphere of influence as a municipality & as a community
2. Develop strategic partnerships to maximize/expand that sphere of influence
3. Advocate for provincial and federal action to support our efforts

How did we arrive at the target?
Community Energy Initiative Update
Under a business-as-usual scenario,
absolute energy consumption
and emissions are expected to be approximately
the same in 2050 as they are today.
Anticipated gains in efficiency will be
offset by increased consumption arising
from economic and population growth.

Conclusion
Community Energy Initiative Update
This updated Community Energy Initiative contains ideas and initiatives to
make changes to the way we produce and consume energy. The result will be
• reduced energy costs
• a strong local economy
• a resilient and healthy community
• a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable future
A shared sense of responsibility across government and community is needed
for positive change.
