Municipal Sustainable Bylaw Collection

Sustainability planning is a complex process in itself, but developing the policies and bylaws needed to support the plans can be an added challenge. To support municipalities in their planning initiatives, FCM's Green Municipal Fund recently launched the Municipal Sustainable Bylaw Collection — http://gmf.fcm.ca/Capacity_Building/Municipal-sustainable-bylaw-collection/default.asp a resource highlighting excellent examples of bylaws, policies and procedures implemented by small and large Canadian municipalities in each sector of activity supported by GMF.

The collection includes more than 100 examples covering all GMF-supported sectors. Find out how a growing number of Canadian municipalities are integrating sustainability in their planning process through sustainable community plans, integrated community sustainability plans, local action plans, long-range sustainability plans, smart growth initiatives, community improvement plans and Local Agenda 21 plans.

If your municipality has a relevant bylaw or policy you would like to share with others or you would like more information, please contact:
