If you are concerned about climate change and would like to be part of a group in the Shire that is actively working towards solutions, we encourage you to join us.
We aim to work cooperatively and collaboratively in all our activities. Although we are non-partisan, we are very much involved in motivating all levels of government to do more to address the threat of climate change.
There are a number of ways that you can get involved with ShireCAN and keep up-to-date with our activities and Climate Change information. We communicate regularly regarding various initiatives and hold regular and informal meetings face-to-face and online.
Monthly Meetings: If you would like to attend our monthly meetings or would like additional information, feel free to send an email to: info@shirecan.org.au
ShireCAN Newsletter:
(you will be sent short, targetted emails restricted in frequency and focussed on news and planned activities, relevant to our group. A more detailed newsletter will be sent 1-2 times per year).
