This is an important step by the city in meeting our shared responsibility and do our part in addressing climate change. The adoption of the goal means a change to how the utility runs its companies, the creation of new opportunities for Calgarians and moving forward on climate change in our city.

The Calgary Alliance, and its 31 member organizations, have been advocating for this change and are proud that this city-owned utility will be taking a leadership role in moving forward on taking action on climate action.

Specifically, the work of the Calgary Climate Hub on this project has been exemplary and their leadership has been indispensable in advocating for this change in policy by the utility.

 

QUOTE:

"Many Calgarians worked to bring Enmax to this place, because of how important it is to Calgary’s prosperity.

"There are many details we will have to work through step by step to ensure Enmax achieves what it has stated it wants to achieve today."
