Dear Mayor Screech and Council:
RE: COMMUNITY ENERGY AND EMISSIONS INVENTORY
At its March 22 meeting, the Capital Regional District Board recommended:
- That the Board Chair write a letter to the Premier requesting that the on-road transportation sector be included in future Community Energy and Emissions Inventories;
- That this staff report be referred to the CRD Planning and Protective Services Committee, the CRD Transportation Committee and municipal councils for information; and
- That the removal of the on-road transportation activities from the Community Energy and Emissions Inventory be brought to the UBCM through the following motion:
On-road transportation sector required in the Community Energy and Emissions Inventory
Whereas the on-road transportation sector is a critical component of the Provincial Community Energy and Emissions Inventory (CEEI);
And whereas this sector has been removed from CEEI for all communities outside the lower mainland;
Therefore be it resolved that the provinicial government include the on-road transportation sector in future CEEI.
Attached please find the staff report mentioned in Item 2 above.
Please contact Glenn Harris if you have any questions (Tel: 250-360-3090, e-mail: gharris@crd.bc.ca).
Sincerely,
Cathy Leahy Senior Administrative Secretary, Parks & Environmental Services
