Caledon voters: local council choices shape climate progress, ecoCaledon says

A local environmental group is urging Caledon residents to treat the upcoming municipal election as a climate decision. ecoCaledon points to the town's declared climate emergency and its target of cutting emissions 36% below 2016 levels by 2030, with net zero by 2050. The group argues council choices on building approvals, retrofits, and transit will determine whether those goals are met. Key items include heat pumps over gas furnaces, induction stoves, solar plus battery, passive house design, and safer bike and walking routes. The post also calls for regular public reporting on carbon progress and stronger neighborhood connections for emergencies.
