The ReCover Initiative enthusiastically welcomes and thanks our new Board of Directors. With representation from many backgrounds, provinces, and sectors, this governance board will enable ReCover to meet its goals in a responsible, transparent and effective manner. A word from our new Chair of the Board, Sarah Riley, G.Dipl. SR and S: "Fossil-fuelled energy systems and embedded carbon construction practices make buildings an outsized contributor to climate change. This is doubly true in our own backyard. In Nova Scotia alone, to reach our stated goal of a 53% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over 2005 levels by 2030, every single building, new and old, has to strive for net-zero carbon before 2050. Achieving this will be a monumental task. It can't be done without a similarly massive shift in the building sector's capacity to streamline retrofit processes, overcome common barriers, and catalyze the adoption of sustainable solutions. This makes ReCover's vision and contribution to redress the impact of our built environments on the climate a critical proposition. I'm privileged to join its inaugural Board of Directors as Chair and to do all I can to support its goal."
