On my way home, I saw this house with solar panels on top. It shows a bright future for the home buyers. I believe that our next generation can live in a “net-zero” home, and the electrical-generation technology would be cheaper and simpler!

By working together we build stronger relationships, learn from each other, and become better prepared for the effects of climate change. I feel hopeful when working with community partners with the common goal of strengthening neighbourhoods. We are collaborating for Thunder Bay’s Strong Neighbours Night Out.
