Sussex is Going Green
Communities across Canada are facing the effects of climate change. While the effects differ for many communities Sussex has dealt first hand with many of these events. Some examples are shorter and warmer winters, river erosion, flooding and damage to infrastructure. Repercussions will cost municipalities and their communities funding dollars and the implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures in and for communities seem inevitable today. Municipal Governments such as the Town of Sussex have a leading role to play in climate protection.
