Centre Sustains
We strive to collaborate with municipal governing bodies to develop strategic direction, build partnerships within the community and government agencies, and establish region wide programs that inspire the community to embrace sustainable practices. The United Nations definition of sustainability is “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. It should consider human, social, economic and environmental aspects.
