Jean and Tom Newton, left and middle, and Andrea Careless, right, are participants in Oak Bay's Coolkit program. That's how residents of Oak Bay, B.C., plan to tackle the challenges of climate change. Their most recent success was pressuring the District of Oak Bay to phase out gas powered lawn tools in the next three years. They created a program to train residents to become "climate champions," implementing climate solutions in their homes, apartment buildings and neighbourhood blocks. Participants in the Oak Bay program each have their own area of interest.
