Caln Township Recognized as Certified Sustainable Municipality

9/30/2020

Caln Township recently completed the Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification Program. We have been recognized at the Silver level of certification for meeting the program's rigorous performance criteria which track 131 policies and practices that define a sustainable community.

The Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification, managed by the Pennsylvania Municipal League in partnership with Sustainable Pittsburgh, is designed for municipalities that are working to save money, conserve resources, and serve vibrant communities. The certification is implemented statewide, recognizing boroughs, townships, cities, and home rule municipalities across the Commonwealth.

In earning the Silver certification, Caln Township is acknowledged for its progress in such areas as community design and land use, energy efficiency, health and wellness, intergovernmental cooperation, recycling and waste reduction, fiscal controls, and internal management and operations. Details about the township’s certification performance within these topics can be found on the certification program’s website: http://www.sustainablepacommunitycertification.org/users/certified_municipalities.

"Caln Township is proud to be recognized as a Silver Certified Community by the Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification program," said Kristen Denne, Township Manager. "The Township has a long history of commitment to saving taxpayer dollars, using resources efficiently, and applying best practices in municipal government and community development. We are pleased to be recognized and be part of the regional community of good government."

"We are delighted to see Caln Township distinguished among local governments that are leading the way in applying sustainability to both their operations and management as well as within the community," said Anne McCollum, Director of Training and Development, Pennsylvania Municipal League.

The Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification is intended to bring recognition to municipalities that are implementing the policies and practices of sustainability to advance community and regional prosperity. It also serves as a mechanism for sharing best practices for creating a more sustainable Pennsylvania. "Municipalities that earn the Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification have demonstrated a commitment to advancing sustainable best practices to foster thriving and vibrant communities where people long to live, work, and play. Commitment to continuous improvement and innovation is at the heart of sustainability and the Certification program is a means to accelerate municipal performance," said James T. Price, Sustainable Community Manager, Sustainable Pittsburgh.

Go to your polling location! Polls are open from 7am to 8pm. All voters in line by 8pm can vote in the election.

You will need to give your ballot and envelopes to a poll worker at your designated polling location and they will void it for you; enabling you to vote in person. The poll workers will have access to look up mail-in ballot requests, so if you forget to bring your mail-in ballot & envelopes with you so that it can be voided, you will be given a provisional ballot to complete at your polling location. This ballot will only be counted once we verify that your mail-in ballot has not been received by the Election Board.

THE DEADLINE TO REQUEST A MAIL-IN BALLOT HAS PASSED - RETURN YOUR BALLOT TO A DROP BOX ASAP (by 8PM on Election Day-Nov. 3) Ballots mailed back after this point may not arrive in time to be counted.

COMPLETE YOUR BALLOT, following ALL instructions! Failure to follow instructions may cause your ballot to be thrown out! Place your ballot in the secrecy envelope and then put the secrecy envelope into the official envelope. Be sure to sign the declaration, or your ballot may not count.
Turn in your ballot by mail, at a secure drop box or by handing it in at your County's Board of Elections. To be sure your vote is counted, return your ballot as soon as possible (by election day is a good benchmark - the actual deadline may be later, pending court rulings).
