Interested in sustainability in the Frontenacs? Join us for breakfast!

Frontenac County’s Sustainability Advisory Committee invites you to the county’s 2015 annual Sustainability Breakfast, free of charge, on Friday, May 8 at the Grace Centre (4295 Stage Coach Road in Sydenham), 7 – 10am. Celebrate our communities' efforts toward becoming more sustainable and connect with other passionate, community-minded people. The Sustainability Breakfast is the place to meet new people, find support for your initiatives, and discuss great ideas.

This year’s Keynote Speaker, Lura Consulting’s Susan Hall, will talk about the future of sustainability planning. Many municipalities have had Integrated Community Sustainability Plans (ICSP) in place for a number of years—the Frontenac County plan, Directions for Our Future, was adopted in 2009—and Ms. Hall will speak to lessons learned, and the implementation of ICSPs moving forward.

New Community Partnership Agreements will be presented at the event as well. These agreements recognize organizations in the Frontenacs that commit to live according to sustainability principles, to collaborate and use resources in a mutually beneficial way, and to contribute to building resilient communities across the Frontenacs.

If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a Community Partner, please contact Alison Vandervelde, Communications Officer, at 613-548-9400 ext 305 or [email protected]. If you would like to attend the Sustainability Breakfast, RSVP to Angelique Tamblyn at 613-548-9400 ext 301 or [email protected].
