BROAD PLANNING

Broad Planning refers to the high level, strategic planning that sets the stage for GHG reductions. Land use planning that focuses on Smart Growth principles (compact, complete, connected and centred) plays an especially important role in energy and GHG reduction. Plans that relate to a certain sector should be included in that sector, e.g. transportation plans in the 'Transportation' sector. In the appropriate boxes below, please record all corporate and community-wide actions taken in 2014 and proposed for 2015. Number and type of actions will vary by community. Please refer to the 'Action Examples' tab above for assistance in understanding the type of information to include in each action category. If the action was taken in partnership, please indicate with whom.

Variable Response
Since initially establishing OCP targets, policies, and actions for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as required by the Local Government Act, has your local government updated those targets, policies and actions? False
Does your local government use the Community Energy and Emissions Inventory (CEEI) to measure progress? Yes
Has your local government established Development Permit Areas (DPAs) for climate action (i.e. energy conservation, water conservation and/or GHG emission reduction)? No

ENERGY GENERATION

A transition to renewable or low-emission energy sources for heating, cooling and power supports large, long-term GHG emissions reductions. Renewable energy including waste heat recovery (e.g. from biogas and biomass), geo-exchange, micro hydroelectric, solar thermal and solar photovoltaic, heat pumps, tidal, wave, and wind energy can be implemented at different scales, e.g. in individual homes, or integrated across neighbourhoods through district energy or co-generation systems. In the appropriate boxes below, please record all corporate and community-wide actions taken in 2014 and proposed for 2015. Number and type of actions will vary by community. Please refer to the 'Action Examples' tab above for assistance in understanding the type of information to include in each action category. If the action was taken in partnership, please indicate with whom.

Variable Response
Has your local government undertaken district energy projects in 2014? No

GREENSPACE

Greenspace refers to parks and greenways, boulevards, community forests, urban agriculture, riparian areas, gardens, recreation/school sites, and other green spaces, such as remediated brownfield/contaminated sites. Greenspaces support climate change mitigation (reducing emissions by absorbing and sequestering GHG) and adaptation (providing shade, cooling, deflecting strong wind, and improving air quality). In the appropriate boxes below, please record all community-wide actions taken in 2014 and proposed for 2015 (Note: the 'Greenspace' sector only has a community-wide actions section). Number and type of actions will vary by community. Please refer to the 'Action Examples' tab above for assistance in understanding the type of information to include in each action category. If the action was taken in partnership, please indicate with whom.
