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
