The science is clear. We must take action now to protect our planet.
But the economics are also clear. To build a strong and resilient economy we must harness the power of a cleaner future. That is exactly what one community in Saskatchewan is doing, and it is blazing a sustainable trail.
Lumsden, Sask., is tucked away in the Qu’Appelle Valley, with 1,800 people calling it home.
The town’s demographics have changed over the years. Most recently it has skewed toward younger families. But one thing that doesn’t change is the type of people who live there.
Lumsden is known as a community for artists. When you drive through the town, you can feel the creative energy, with colourful murals splashed on buildings saying things like “Free Bird” and “Freedom.”
