Guelph was also recognized for reaching milestone 5 under FCM’s Partners for Climate Protection program. This recognizes that we have progressed through milestones of inventorying greenhouse gas emissions, setting reduction targets, developing action plans, implementing actions, and now measuring and reporting results.  Read more about Guelph’s success as well as the other municipalities recognized here.
