THE WAY WE GREEN - Public Hearing

The Way We Green, Edmonton’s environmental strategic plan, will be having its first unveiling in front of City Council’s Executive Committee on Wednesday, May 11. This meeting will be a public hearing giving any interested Edmontonian the chance to speak to Council members about The Way We Green.

Date:  May 11
Time:  1:30 pm
Where: City Hall, Edmonton, Alberta

The plan is big, bold, in-depth, transformational and exciting.  Please review it and give the City your feedback.  Check www.edmonton.ca/thewaywegreen to see a copy of the plan.

After the plan goes to Executive Committee one of two things is likely to happen:
1) Executive Committee accepts the plan and sends it to the full meeting of Council for their input, or

2) Executive Committee wants some changes to be made to the plan and sends it back to administration for revisions.

Members of the public are invited to take part in this Public Hearing on Wednesday, May 11 starting at 1:30 pm.

If you would like to speak to the committee members about the plan, please register with the City Clerk’s office by calling 496 8178 or emailing city.clerk@edmonton.ca or by calling 311. You can also register to speak before the event begins.
