Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd has been appointed to the Thompson-Okanagan committee of the Premier's Regional Councils on Climate Action. She has committed herself for a year regardless of November's election results.
The goal of the committee is to encourage grassroot solutions to promoting conservation in their community; either in their homes, workplace or in their neighbourhoods. Each community brings it's own perspective to overcome the challenges of climate change.
There are seven such committees throughout British Columbia.
