By Chris Fell  Local Journalism Initiative Reporter The Town of The Blue Mountains has announced that it is one of 100 municipalities world-wide to receive a special youth climate action grant. The town made the announcement this week that it has received $50,000 to distribute as microgrants to fund youth-led climate initiatives. The grant comes from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Youth Climate Action Fund. “We are super excited about this, because we are one out of 100 municipalities in the world that have received this,” Mayor Andrea Matrosovs said in an interview with CollingwoodToday. “There are only six municipalities in Canada and only 29 in all of North America who are going to be using this fund.”   The funding is a result of the mayor’s recent attendance of the COP28 climate summit
