What is the FCM Sustainable Communities Mission? |
| The annual FCM Sustainable Communities Mission is a study tour that showcases sustainable initiatives for municipal decision-makers. The Mission provides Canadian municipalities with a valuable learning experience that demonstrates first-hand how the concept of sustainability supports sustainable community development and generates economic and environmental benefits locally and nationally. Presentations and site visits on a variety of sectors, including brownfields, energy, transportation, planning, waste and water, provide participants with a holistic understanding of innovative sustainable development initiatives. |
| Where will the Mission go next year? |
| Next year the Mission will be in Québec. We’ll be visiting Montréal, Québec City, and a few sites in between. The Mission will start in Montréal and end in Québec City. |
| When will it take place? |
| The dates for the 2011 Mission will be confirmed shortly. To find out when the Mission dates are confirmed, sign up to receive GMF news and updates. |
| Who can participate? |
| The Mission is open to municipal elected officials and senior staff from Canadian communities. A small number of seats may be available for representatives from federal and provincial departments and private-sector sponsors. |
| How much does it cost? |
| The fees for participating in the Mission will be posted shortly. |
| What will I see and do? |
| The 2011 Mission will visit innovative projects focused on energy, waste, water, transportation and sustainable community development. In addition to the site visits, presentations will provide information on the strategic planning and partnerships that are key to each project’s success, as well as an opportunity to speak with municipal staff and representatives from partner organizations. You’ll also have a chance to network with municipal decision-makers from other communities, develop contacts with key partner organizations, explore the beautiful province of Québec and discover a number of tools and funding opportunities to catalyze sustainable development in your own community. |
