2024-2025:
Staff Capacity Program
The 2024-2025 Staff Capacity Program supported adaptation efforts throughout Ontario by connecting participants with ORCCA staff to receive direct support. Our climate adaptation services provided staff support towards a defined task for a predetermined set of hours over one year. By providing staff capacity, this Program enabled participants to complete a climate adaptation project that would otherwise be unrealized due to insufficient capacity or expertise.
Our Other Programs
ORCCA programs are designed using a cohort approach where groups work on similar issues while receiving direct technical support from the ORCCA team.
Climate Communication Program
Effective communication plays a vital role in climate adaptation. ORCCA offers support to Ontario communities in implementing specific communication and outreach activities that promote climate resilience including communicating and engaging behaviour change to reduce vulnerability to climate hazards and developing strategies and products to bring climate initiatives to life.
The Climate Communications Program includes trainings, workshops, one-on-one support, and resources.
Community Outreach & Engagement Program
ORCCA is committed to fostering community engagement and mobilizing citizens to contribute to local climate resilience building. Through our Community Outreach and Engagement Program, we provide support to Ontario communities in developing their own initiative aimed at addressing vulnerabilities and enhancing resilience. Participating municipalities receive training, access to experts, targeted resources, and general support to establish their volunteer programs tailored to their community’s specific needs.
