This week, our team soaked in the beauty of Belle Isle’s Lake Okonoka and took time to reflect and align our goals for a sustainable future. Detroit residents are the heart of everything we do, and we’re excited to keep working hand-in-hand with the community we love to make our city a leader in sustainability. 🌎 💚 A huge thank you to our Director T for the kayaking adventure and OHM Advisors for hosting us yesterday! #detroitsustainability #climateaction #teambuilding #strategicplanning
