Description
The Town of Caledon, Region of Peel, and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) will work in partnership to develop a Sustainable Neighbourhood Retrofit Action Plan (SNAP) in Bolton, Caledon’s urban centre. The SNAP will be an on-the-ground demonstration of the town’s Community Climate Change Action Plan, and will provide a comprehensive work plan for improving sustainability performance of homes, properties, green spaces and infrastructure. The plan will drive sustainable change within the neighbourhood across a number of environmental themes, including natural heritage, stormwater management, water, active transportation, materials management and energy. Ultimately, the Caledon SNAP will show how a small town can do something big in the testing of new approaches to the removal of sustainability barriers in mature neighbourhoods.
