Description
The Town of Annapolis Royal will develop a “Back to the Future” Sustainable Community Development Plan to incorporate existing environmental initiatives and to recommend improvements in energy services, water services, waste management and sustainable community development. Current environmental initiatives include zero waste and anti-idling programs and the installation of an ultraviolet disinfection system at a sewage treatment plant. The town is actively involved in a broad-scale program to improve its own sustainability as well as that of a neighbouring county catchment area of about 9,000 people. As a member of the Partners for Climate Protection program, the town aims to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
