  How small N.L. towns are readying for climate crises

  Sep 2, 202621 min

  For many rural towns in Newfoundland and Labrador, small budgets and an aging, shrinking population are the norm. And when climate damage strikes, fixes are costly. Hare Bay is a case in point. In recent years it has seen flooding, a storm surge and wildfire threats putting immense pressure on the town’s bottom line and small staff. But “if there is a will, there is a way,” according to the town’s clerk. On this podcast, we walk you through how the small town is rethinking climate preparedness and the program trying to help N.L. municipalities prepare for the worst of climate change.
