Jonathan Wilkinson joined Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam MP Ron McKinnon to announce the funding for 12 B.C. projects related to climate resilience.
Canada’s minister of energy and natural resources was in Port Coquitlam this morning, Nov. 14, to announce $7 million for a dozen B.C. projects to address climate change, including one in Burnaby.
Highlighting the recent atmospheric rivers, of which one last month killed two Coquitlam residents, Wilkinson said the projects — as well as the 41 others across Canada — will aim to reduce climate change risks and “will save lives.”With the federal election taking place next year, Wilkinson also used the stop to comment on his party’s commitment to science-based issues, a pledge “not shared by all political leaders in Canada,” he said.
Representatives from ICLEI Canada, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, Simon Fraser University and the Emergency Planning Secretariat were at today’s news conference to talk about their work and thank the federal government for the grants. — Tri-City News November 14, 2024 CCAP money Natural Resources Canada is paying for seven projects under the CCAP:
