The City and Regional District of Nanaimo are looking for people to join the Acting for Climate Together program (ACT) for a second year.
Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog says that the program is part of a larger effort to reduce the impact of climate change.
“Basically, we’re saying to people get together, organize yourselves and do something that will have a positive impact on the environment,” he said.
Past actions have included people participating in Earth Day events, Go by Bike Week, tree planting, sustainable home tours and hosting meatless neighborhood potlucks.
This year, participants will have access to project funding to help groups complete their community projects.
People who want to participate in ACT can register on the Regional District of Nanaimo’s Get Involved website or attend an online information session at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15.
