The email our executive director just sent:

Environment Hamilton @environmenthamont.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

EMAIL YOUR COUNCILLOR - yet another last minute addition to today's #HamOnt Council agenda - Councillors Pauls and Spadafora seeking to defund the Climate Change Reserve entirely, not just making some cuts to it. An anti-democratic display of climate change denial.

Environment Hamilton @environmenthamont.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

As we feared - there are more proposed cuts on the agenda for tomorrow #HamOnt.

The image is a green background with red and white text it reads:
Update as of 5pm - Thursday February 6

Some of the new proposed budget cuts added to Council agenda tomorrow at the end of today (mover and listed seconder in brackets) because they were posted publicly well after the delegation deadline the public will not get a first opportunity to comment - these are in addition to the previously flagged motions seeking to defund the climate change reserve and other programs:

Deferral of budgeted funding for LRT in 2025 (Jackson/Francis)
Indefinitely pause and defund the Safe Apartment Building By-law and Renovation License and Relocation (renoviction) By-law (Jackson/Pauls)
Removal of the Biodiversity Action Plan from the 2025 budget and removal of Biodiversity Action Plan staff (Beattie)
Defunding two full-time equivalent positions working on public engagement from the budget
Defunding capital funding for planned bike lanes totaling $4m (Francis)
Defunding the Poet In Place program and allocating it’s budgeted $25,000 to “roads, sidewalks and parks”

Environment Hamilton @environmenthamont.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

Emergency rally tomorrow morning, 9am at #HamOnt City Hall - we are hearing that there are potentially several new motions coming forward seeking to cut environmental and tenant protection efforts! We will then be watching the meeting inside City Hall.

Environment Hamilton @environmenthamont.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

Attention #HamOnt! Email your Councillor today and tell them: NO CUTS TO CLIMATE ACTION

The text is in red and black on a green background, it reads:

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

On Friday February 7th Councillor Pauls (Ward 7) and Francis (Ward 5) are proposing cuts (Items 9.5 and 9.6 for tomorrow’s Budget GIC meeting) to the Climate Change Reserve - cancelling previously approved projects that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, help us adapt to future extreme heat, and make our City more liveable.

The City’s overall spending on climate change is so small still it does not even compose half of 1% of the overall budget - yet it receives more scrutiny, and now attempts at defunding, than most other City departments from Councillors.

Defunding these investments will cost Hamilton more as climate change continues.

Email your Hamilton Councillor today and tell them: NO CUTS TO CLIMATE ACTION IN HAMILTON
