In a community meeting, you will discuss one Theme of Sustainability. You can share your ideas on key issues for that Theme in West Carleton and possible projects to address them. Ideas for simple personal projects are very welcome. You may also suggest and discuss community projects.
The community discussions to create the West Carleton Sustainability Plan will take place on Tuesday 11 June at the West Carleton Community Complex, 5670 Carp Road, Kinburn, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. There will be a discussion group for each of the 10 Themes.
