Prepare for Extreme Weather

Extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods can disrupt lives and upend our communities. I will take proactive steps to prepare for extreme weather by safeguarding my home and creating or updating an emergency plan and kit with essential supplies, evacuation routes, and contact information.

Remember to bring a reusable cup or water bottle when you're out.

I will bring a reusable drink cup with me for my beverage orders or water refill stations to reduce the amount of single-use item waste I create.

    Good morning!

    We're at the end of our 30-day Earth Month Ecochallenge. Thank you to everyone who participated and completed actions, strengthening our collective impact.

    We'll be sharing a summary of that collective impact in the coming days and later today we'll be doing the final draw for Downtown Dollars.

    Hopefully we'll see everyone at the next Ecochallenge - it's been amazing to see all of the trees planted, pieces of trash collected, and water saved!

    Thanks again everyone for making this a successful Earth Month Ecochallenge for the Guelph Community!

    Happy Friday, Guelph Community Team!

    It's the home stretch and we're currently at over 10,000 team points for the month! Well done everyone. Can we get to 15,000? 20,000? She wondered aloud.

    We've done our 4th weekly draw for Downtown Dollars - check your email to see if you are one of our lucky winners this week! Next week we'll be doing our final draw - 2 x $25, 2 x $50, and 2 x $75 Downtown Dollars draws.

    Let's go!
