New MC3 Case Synopsis Released: City of Dawson Creek

A new MC3 case study synopsis has been released, featuring the City of Dawson Creek.

Dawson Creek is a city with a population of approximately 11,000 located in BC’s Peace Region. Its oil and gas industry is a major contributor to the city’s economy; however, in the midst of this industry, the City has developed some of the most innovative climate change and sustainability-related initiatives in BC. Years before the Carbon Tax was instituted, Dawson Creek had already begun the process of reducing its corporate and community GHG emissions.
