Brampton's Environmental Master Plan
 Watch Us "Grow Green"
In the fall of 2009, Brampton embarked on the preparation of its first Environmental Master Plan, a sustainable environmental framework to direct the City’s efforts to conserve, restore and enhance its urban, rural and natural environments.
The EMP will evaluate the City’s current environmental programs, initiatives and best practices; identify gaps in the City’s sustainability efforts; and recommend areas for improvement in some or all of the following areas of municipal responsibility:
- Health & Safety
- Corporate Operations, Programs and Services
- Transportation and Transit
- Community and Land Use Planning
|
- Urban Green Space
- Resource Use, including Energy, Waste and Water
- Environmental Education and Stewardship
- Natural Heritage System Conservation
|
The City will undertake extensive public consultation to seek stakeholder and community input into the final Environmental Master Plan. The goal, objectives and actions of the EMP must translate into responsible, achievable, educational and affordable environmental programs and activities for the City departments and the land use development program.
Public Consultation
Consultation with Brampton residents and youth groups will commence early in 2011. Watch this site for updates.
