FULFILLING THE MANDATE OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Our focuses this year are active transportation, lake water quality, air quality, and Smart Growth.

Working with the City towards Smart Growth
We provide bi-monthly bulletins to Councillors, updating them on our activities and issues of concern, and continue to provide submissions where there is opportunity for public input.

Researching and sharing information on Smart Growth
The CLS continues to research best practices for supporting Smart Growth at the municipal level.
Work continues on a Resource library to share this information with others, as well as relevant reports and guides.
Smart Growth ideas are being shared through networking, making submissions to the City, and writing into local media. Earth Day is an upcoming event that will also reach many people.

Acting as a Network of like-minded community groups and citizens
Our network now includes over 380 individuals and twenty-five community groups. Information is shared through a regular e-newsletter.  We continue to look for more ways to foster partnerships, share information and resources effectively, and make use of our network to strengthen the voice for a sustainable Sudbury.
