Sustainability Declaration

Canmore Mayor Ron Casey and Councillors Andre Gareau, John Borrowman, Corinna Dootjes, Michael Heenan and Mike Western display the new Sustainability Declaration in front of the Canmore Civic Centre.

In April, Canmore’s Mayor and Councillors signed a Sustainability Declaration, thus committing themselves to helping create a sustainable future for the town. By signing the declaration, they joined a growing group of civic leaders around the world who are dedicating time and energy to learning how society can integrate its economic, environmental, and social activities in ways that will allow future generations to enjoy the same resources, opportunities, and quality of life we do today.

The Sustainability Declaration marks the beginning of a new era of sustainability planning and action for Canmore. As a legacy of The Natural Step to a Sustainable Canmore – a sustainability training and planning program that the Town and other Canmore organizations have participated in for the past 18 months – an exciting community-wide sustainability initiative is being planned for early summer of 2006.
