Weston and Mount Dennis

Climate Action Champion

The Toronto Neighbourhood Climate Action Champion project is in its fourth year and exists in neighbourhoods throughout the city to support innovative local climate action.

Laura Bonnici is the Ward 5 York-South Weston champion for this initiative.

Neighbourhood Champions are:

Trained in local climate action change science, communications and action, and proactive measures

Tasked with identifying and leading community-specific climate objectives

Responsible for collaborating with residents to encourage and ignite climate-friendly endeavours that align with the City's TransformTO strategy

Equip residents with the necessary skills to get involved and mobilize their community

Neighbourhood Champions inspire, motivate, and encourage other residents to undertake community-focused actions to support the City's TransformTO climate action strategy.

Their goal is to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
