2020 Annual Impact Report
Conservation Halton has been working to baseline our emissions across our lands, parks and facilities. Our new strategic plan, Momentum 2021-2024, has identified climate change and watershed resiliency as well as transitioning from grey to green solutions as key strategic objectives.
In 2020, we safely reopened our parks through our digital Park Reservation System to enable green space access, protected 9756 terrestrial and aquatic areas, completed 75 floodplain, wetland and watercourse restoration projects, launched a volunteer program to support restoration projects and community learning, launched a “From the Ground Up” program to engage students in environmental stewardship and collaborated with Cogeco to launch a television series about conservation for children.
We partnered with local libraries to make 190 park passes available for the community to borrow as well as with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to host ceremonies in our parks.
