GuelphToday received the following letter from Evan Ferrari, the executive director of eMERGE Guelph
Dear Editor
It's time to build the much-needed library – for all the right reasons.
The leadership that Guelph City Council has shown – through their support of aggressive approaches to fight climate change – will put this project in the forefront of a climate legacy for decades and generations to come.
By acknowledging a climate emergency, embodying 100 per cent renewable energy and net zero carbon into this project, council has provided us with a shining example of the energy transition that we must pursue throughout our community.
The library is not only a fundamental cultural, educational and social hub for our city – but a beacon of guidance in our fight against climate change.I look forward to the standard that the new library will create for all of us to emulate and improve upon.
Sincerely
Evan Ferrari
