This site is designed to provide information about the City's current sustainability programs, publications and performance as well as news and events. It also links to many community, government and organisation sustainability resources and provides a method for community feedback.

Sustainability is about living and working in ways that meet and integrate existing environmental, economic and social needs without compromising the well-being of future generations. The transition to sustainable development benefits today's society and builds a more secure future for our children (The Sustainability Report, Canada).

The City's definition of sustainability is " Enhancing the quality of life and prosperity of the community, and preventing the harmful local and global effects of its action through careful planning and decision making ".
