Hi Friend,

Happy New Year from the Climate Ready Infrastructure Service (CRIS) team! As we kick off 2025, we're excited to bring you our first newsletter. Whether you're a local government leader, infrastructure planner, or community resilience enthusiast, we're here to help you build lasting, sustainable infrastructure in the face of climate change.

Read on to find out how to join the first intake of the CRIS, watch our first panel discussion, and discover resources in the field.

Project Submissions Still Open - Don't Miss Out!

Does your community have public infrastructure projects planned for 2025? Great news! We're still accepting applications from local governments who want to build lasting, sustainable infrastructure. The Climate Ready Infrastructure Service (CRIS) connects local governments (with populations under and around 30,000) to top climate experts, providing tailored advice and guidance at no cost to your municipality.

Apply before January 31, 2025 to take part in the first intake of project matching.

Why Climate Ready Infrastructure Matters

We know that communities across Canada are facing climate challenges in different capacities. So how do we develop local, place-based solutions on the ground? If you missed our panel of experts at the CUI's State of Canada's Cities Summit last month, tune in to discover how initiatives like the CRIS are being developed to support smaller communities and foster a community of practice to build a climate-ready Canada.
