The focus of the meeting was a consideration of Castlegar’s storm water collection capacity in the light of expected changes in the local climate. PIEVC engineer Jeff O’Driscoll explained that through a process of group activities, the participants would be able to “learn by doing” in order to implement a climate change analysis in Castlegar themselves.
O’Driscoll described the process as a tutorial. The group activity came after a series of presentations. Participants were instructed to analyze data on a theoretical prairie community called Anyville in order to learn how to work through the process of a climate change adaptation study.
Monday’s meeting was part of the Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative underway in Castlegar since winter. The initiative aims to help the City and residents deal with expected changes to weather patterns due to climate change….
