The goal of an Environmental/Sustainability Action and Implementation Plan (Green Plan) is to create and maintain a healthy, sustainable and vibrant community through reduction of the "carbon footprint" of the municipality. In addition, it will identify implementation models, methods of measuring progress and potential external funding sources.
The Green Plan will be considered a living document which will continue to evolve through the implementation of municipal best practices. It will be developed through Council, staff, public and stakeholder dialogue and engagement.
The Green Plan will look at all aspects of environmental and community sustainability, conservation and green economic development and procurement within our local municipality. It will outline approaches to implementing policies and programs as necessary to fulfill the goal of the plan.
