As citizens within the Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB), we call on our School Board Trustees to pass a resolution to eliminate fossil fuel heating in all new and existing Board facilities to address climate change. Learn more.
This action will set an inspirational example for our students. Many feel overwhelmed with thoughts of the increasing impacts from our warming climate. Taking clear steps to eliminate fossil fuel use provides a much-needed hopeful outlook for all youth.
To eliminate fossil fuel heating, we expect:
- Heating systems of future new schools and Board facilities to not use fossil fuels,
- Heating systems of existing schools and Board facilities to be retrofitted off fossil fuels,
- A plan with annual public reporting on progress.
