The CCRI provides important access to mentorship and support from advisors representing leading Canadian and international circular economy educators and practitioners. By the end of this program, the City of Peterborough and Peterborough County will develop their circular economy roadmaps and action plans for their corporate plans and policies.
The Peterborough and the Kawarthas region has a long and celebrated history of pursuing sustainable and innovative initiatives through Sustainable Peterborough and Green Economy Peterborough.
“The City of Peterborough is committed to climate action. We worked with our County partners through Sustainable Peterborough on the Climate Change Action Plan and continue to build on that partnership to advance our region’s sustainability goals,” said Mayor Diane Therrien, City of Peterborough. “We are excited to join the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative and expand our collaboration with other leaders in sustainability and best climate practices nationwide.”
Participating in the CCRI will shift towards greater circularity and reduce the region’s ‘embodied carbon’ footprint, thus supporting the local Climate Change Action Plan and vision to build a strong economy based on partnerships, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability.
