RDCK joins 100% Renewable Kootenays initiative

The Regional District of Central Kootenay will be working towards 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050. The board of directors voted to support the 100% Renewable Kootenays initiative at their meeting last month, which is spearheaded by the West Kootenay Eco Society. Co-Executive Director for the Eco-Society Matthew Carroll is very excited the RDCK has signed on.

Carroll says it is possible based on some energy modelling they did for the region.
