Description
The City of Ottawa, in partnership with the City of Gatineau and the National Capital Commission, will develop a comprehensive Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). The ICSP will look at common challenges and their interdependencies, working with the larger community through a consultation process involving multiple stakeholders. The consultation process will incorporate new and current initiatives for energy use, integrated land use, water conservation, wastewater and stormwater treatment, transportation, solid waste diversion and green infrastructure. The ICSP will also look at related financial, governance and structural issues. The community energy plan — a part of the ISCP — will lead to an integrated energy conservation strategy and further reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
