Rural Planning and Development graduate students Gursewak Singh, Alexa-Rae Valente and Louis Helps recently completed a climate change project on behalf of Grey County. This work will serve as a springboard towards the development of a Grey County Climate Change Action Plan. The project has been profiled in an article in the Owen Sound Times [1].
The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development (SEDRD) brings together major academic fields concerned with creating strong communities, in Canada and around the world.

This model reflects the imperatives in building authentic communities where planners, landscape architects, communicators, and citizens all play important interdependent roles in community strength.
