Programs

One of the key focus areas of the committee is to provide input into initiatives, pilot projects and activities the residents could participate in to show leadership and awareness in promoting energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to a changing climate.

The Environmental Committee has teamed up with many corporate sponsors to bring new initiatives to Yorkton.
