The annual general meeting of the Sunshine Coast Clean Air Society (SCCAS) will include a vote on whether to expand the society’s mission to include the impact of greenhouse gases.
For more than 14 years the SCCAS has been the main public group working to monitor and remove particulate and chemical pollution from the airshed. The organization has supported bylaws limiting tobacco smoke in public areas and backyard burns, run workshops to highlight the dangers of air pollution, and helped over 300 families replace old polluting wood stoves with newer units that use catalytic converters and secondary air to reduce their particulate emissions.
The society invites the public to its AGM at the Stalashen Clubhouse in Wilson Creek, 1 to 3 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 22, to share ideas on these vital topics.
