Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities are working together to mitigate climate change. These communities are adapting to a changing climate by creating resilient, regenerative, inclusive and prosperous communities and economies. The Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities Climate Leadership Plan Steering Committee (VICC CLP SC) has been convened by three Vancouver Island Mayors—Lisa Helps (Victoria), Josie Osborne (Tofino), Michelle Staples (Duncan)—in order to help catalyze climate mitigation and adaptation throughout the region. The VICC CLP SC includes representatives from each of the regional districts on the island and the Sunshine Coast to produce a plan that will catalyze climate mitigation and adaptation throughout the coastal region.
