“Groups of all sizes are acting now to make the Basin more resilient to climate change while mitigating and adapting to its impacts.” The ʔaq̓am community has reduced the number of its carbon-emitting trucks on the road, replacing two gas trucks with two electric trucks, and nstalling two charging stations powered through a building with a solar array. Further up the road in Wycliffe, Apple Quill Farm is installing a solar array, in-ground radiant tube heating system, thermal curtain and seasonal tunnel with a shade cloth, to help grow their crops as diverse as raspberries, garlic, beets and tomatoes, which are sold on-site and at nearby farmers’ markets.
And from a farmers’ market to exercises classes, the Baynes Lake Community Hall acts as a community hub. To be more climate-friendly when it comes to heating and cooling, plus make the hall more fire-resilient, the Baynes Lake Community Society is upgrading its windows and exterior doors and installing fire-resistant siding.
