As the global climate crisis deepens, we call on the Trustees of SD61 to ensure that an upgraded Vic High, and all future school upgrades, be zero emissions.
As the Covid-19 pandemic is showing us, it is critical that we prepare and act in advance for both health and climate risks. The scientific consensus tells us that climate risks are real and could be devastating. In 2019 SD61 declared a climate emergency and committed to do its part in safeguarding our children’s future by considerably reducing district emissions. Vic High presents the first real test of this commitment. As concerned parents and community members we demand that Climate Change be a priority in all district decisions and that all current and future building upgrades be in line with a net zero CO2 future.
