<strong>Rossland</strong> continues<br />
renewable energy<br />
leadership<br />
<strong>Rossland</strong> City Council unanimously<br />
adopted the West Kootenay 100% Renewable<br />
Energy Plan on <strong>Jan</strong>uary 4, 2021.<br />
They are the third local government to<br />
adopt the 100% renewable energy plan that<br />
they have been collaborating on with eight<br />
other West Kootenay local governments<br />
and West Kootenay EcoSociety. The renewable<br />
energy plan aims to save people money,<br />
make <strong>Rossland</strong> healthier and safer, support<br />
a stronger local economy and lower carbon<br />
pollution.<br />
“I am so pleased that the City of <strong>Rossland</strong><br />
adopted the 100% Renewable Energy Plan.<br />
It’s been a pleasure collaborating with our<br />
other local Kootenay government partners<br />
and the West Kootenay EcoSociety to bring<br />
the plan this far. I am confident that by<br />
working together our region can continue<br />
to lead the way towards a low carbon future<br />
by implementing the plan,” says <strong>Rossland</strong><br />
Mayor Kathy Moore.<br />
The plan has regional strategies as well<br />
as local actions that each community has<br />
prioritized as the most relevant to their<br />
community.<br />
“It’s been an incredible experience seeing<br />
the community coming together the<br />
past few years to support the council in<br />
the renewable energy transition. <strong>Rossland</strong><br />
has been a true leader in the transition to<br />
100% renewable energy, and they are setting<br />
the path forward for other small and<br />
rural communities like theirs to live healthier,<br />
safer and cleaner lives,” says Natasha<br />
Edmunds, organizing director at West<br />
Kootenay EcoSociety.<br />
