Community Conversations on Sustainability

Energize Bridgewater partnered with neighbouring municipalities and the Atlantic Infrastructure Management (AIM) Network to organize the South Shore Sustainability Summit, which took place on September 22 and 23, 2023. The Summit brought together community members, youth, non-profits, and municipal representatives to share ideas about sustainability, climate change, and collaboration.

Energize Bridgewater Planner, Meghan Doucette, organized a Sustainable Social event featuring 9 short presentations about initiatives in our region. The presentations were recorded and shared on the Town of Bridgewater’s YouTube page. We’ve highlighted the videos in this post. Scroll down to check them out.
