Happy Canada Day! Community Climate Connectors has a new Program Manager Effective June 6, NCAH is pleased to have hired Whelm King as Program Manager for our Community Climate Connectors project. Whelm is a seasoned business leader and project manager. The project will take a multi-pronged approach to assessing how best to motivate households within the Regional District of Nanaimo, including the City of Nanaimo, to reduce their GHG output. We have high hopes that the project will demonstrate a path forward to lowering household GHGs! Dude! Where's My EV?!! Are you anxious to buy an electric vehicle but frustrated by limited availability and long lead-times? It's a global problem caused by shortages of microchips and other parts. The Mid-Vancouver Island Electric Vehicle Association has published a newsletter with perspectives and suggestions on managing the wait. It's useful information for anyone thinking of making the switch, or already in the hunt for an EV. Read It Here A New Way To Support Us!
