Council approved funding for the framework’s development in the 2022-23 budget in support of its strategic priorities.

Progress reports and a draft framework were presented to council over the course of 2023 and came before a council committee-of-the-whole meeting in March.

Water, energy and air, ecosystem and agriculture, recycling and waste management and community and land development are included in the framework.

Developing a city-wide water management strategy, enhancing outdoor air quality and creating a community education and outreach program are just three of dozens of goals outlined in the framework.
