Environmental Advisory Committee
The Environmental Advisory Committee is a Committee of Council that assists Council with the implementation of various environmental plans and monitors, supports, and advises Council on how to implement the City's environmental goals and policies. There are also two teams that function under the Environmental Advisory Committee: the Pollinator Action Team and the Bird Friendly Kawartha Lakes Team. These teams help to maintain our designation as a Bee City and as a Bird Friendly City.
