Introduction

Why Sustainability Planning?

Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. A cornerstone of sustainability is the recognition that all aspects of society and the natural environment (including governance, the economy, culture, infrastructure and natural resources) are interconnected.

Sustainability planning will help Dawson Creek develop and move towards a sustainable vision for the municipality. It will provide a framework for integrating sustainability thinking into every day decision-making.

Steps in Sustainability Planning

A community sustainability planning process typically involves Council, staff, the public, community organizations and businesses in order to provide a diverse number of perspectives and to begin to build support for the long-term sustainable community vision.

This process is driven by the city's new vision statement and guiding principles, which were adopted in early 2007.
