Thank you for your comment and question.
The
implementation of the Climate Action Plan will involve the development of
long term strategies to support climate action, which is complex and can
involve many different entities and partnerships with community
stakeholder organizations such as community groups, utilities, school
boards and businesses. Staff will look at opportunities to leverage
existing funding with external sources of funding to implement
projects. At this point these is no plan to increase the tax rate to
pay for climate action however some municipalities have done that to
implement a climate reserve fund such as the city of Peterborough.
Share When will municipal charging stations open in the North End of Burlington ? I just bought an electric car this week, and I am disappointed to see that they are all in the south. on FacebookShare When will municipal charging stations open in the North End of Burlington ?

Congratulations on purchasing a new electric vehicle and
reducing your carbon footprint.
The city is looking at options to expand
EV charging stations to some of its satellite recreational facilities although there isn't a timeline for you at this point. Please stay in touch and
thank you for your question.
