A bold net-zero emissions strategy would see the percentage of local trips taken by car slashed by more than half by 2050. (File photo) THUNDER BAY – A hugely ambitious plan in front of Thunder Bay’s city council sketches a blueprint for a city that’s carbon-neutral by 2050, while leaving question marks around major funding and implementation details. The 88-page Climate-Forward City: Thunder Bay Net-Zero Strategy would see the community reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90 per cent by 2050, a transformation consultants compared to the construction of the national railway and highway systems while presenting the plan Monday. After receiving the first report, councillors will vote on whether to adopt the strategy when a final version is presented on June 7. Residents can read the plan at the city’s website, and a virtual launch event is planned for May 18.
