Ask West Kelowna
The City of West Kelowna took numerous community and corporate actions in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 2017; however, these objectives were offset by the response to historic flooding and fire seasons and the months of recovery and mitigation that followed. As a result, the City of West Kelowna reports that its emissions increased by 200 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2017, compared to 2016.
