Neighbourhood Climate Action Champions

Climate change is an issue that affects us all. To reach our ambitious goals, we need active participation from everyone in our community. 

Programs like the Neighbourhood Climate Action Champions are a new way to take action together. In this program, champions work with their neighbours to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By joining, community members can share ideas and take local climate action.

Applications for the 2027 Neighbourhood Climate Action Champions are open. Visit Get Involved Kingston to learn more and apply by Oct. 22, 2026.

The 2026 Neighbourhood Champions led 18 projects promoting climate change adaptation, mitigation and education. Examples of projects include:

  • Planting pollinator gardens and Little Forests
  • Hosting energy efficiency workshops or home energy retrofits
  • Creating kid-friendly climate education events
  • Working with local schools to teach students about biodiversity

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
