Ward 8 Councillor Shanon Zachidniak says even though the city’s plan is to be renewable by 2050, planning is already underway.
“The consultants have been hired, and the statistics have been compiled, and soon we’ll be talking about what steps we want to take as a community,” said Zachidniak. “So now is a great time to hear from others in other communities about some of the ideas that could be possible for us to implement here.”
