On October 7, 2024, Truro Town Council approved and adopted a new Community Energy and Emissions Plan.
In 2021, the Town of Truro made a commitment to climate action by becoming a member of the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) Program. This Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) marks the Town’s submission for completing the first three milestones of the PCP Program:
1. Creating a baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventory;
2. Setting emissions reduction targets; and
3. Developing a local climate action plan.
Plan development brought together key community members, including government officials, community leaders, business owners, and representatives from various local interest groups. The project’s public engagement strategy facilitated open dialogue, allowing participants to share their insights, concerns, and aspirations for the community’s future.
A Steering Committee with Town staff, Councillors, and community members was created to provide advice on the Plan and the planning process. Committee members provided guidance on groups to connect with, strategy ideas, and communications.
