City of Duncan votes to remain carbon-neutral

The City of Duncan wants to retain its status of being a carbon-neutral municipality, which it first attained in 2012, by continuing to purchase carbon-offset credits in its annual budgets.
Council made that decision at its meeting on April 13, but not before some discussion on the merits of the program.
Coun. Garry Bruce said he doesn’t agree with the city buying carbon-offset credits and pointed out that no other local government in the Cowichan Valley participates in the program.
