Georgian Bluffs works toward a greener future

A greener future is taking root in The Township of Georgian Bluffs.

The GB Goes Green program saw 13 native trees planted Wednesday at the Township office as the municipality works toward a more sustainable community.

Over 65 carbon footprint profiles were submitted to the GB Goes Green Initiative, after the township promised to plant one native tree for every five completed profiles. The Township of Georgian Bluffs and the Georgian Bluffs Climate Action Team hope to increase that to over 100 by early next year to ensure more trees are planted in the spring.

Members of the Georgian Bluffs Council, senior staff, the Georgian Bluffs Climate Action Team were among participants in the October 18 tree planting ceremony at the Township of Georgian Bluffs Office. Residents can visit the Project Neutral website to complete a carbon footprint profile

“The future of Georgian Bluffs is bright, and we're not stopping here”, said Mayor Sue Carleton. “As more residents complete their carbon footprint profiles, more trees will grace our landscape, making Georgian Bluffs an even more vibrant and sustainable place to live.”
