 As part of its plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the District has picked a team of local experts to help craft policy to reduce the town’s carbon footprint.

Dora Gunn, municipal sustainability co-ordinator, said while those chosen come from a variety of organizations, they will be advising as individuals and not representing their groups’ interests.

On Oct. 8, Gunn revealed the people chosen for the team are:

Meredith Adler, executive director, Student Energy

Ian Bruce, director of science and policy, David Suzuki Foundation

Luisa Burhenne, sustainability strategist, GHG Accounting

Bob Deeks, president, RDC Fine Homes

Fred Ghatala, director for carbon and sustainability, Advanced Biofuels Canada

Emma Jarrett, manager of management systems, Squamish Terminals

Ian Picketts, Quest University faculty

Doug Rae, business development, Carbon Engineering

The District still has two slots for the team open. Gunn said they hope to fill them with a representative for youth and with a member of the Squamish Nation.
