Sooke Sustainable Community Strategy

Jul 2, 2008

The Sooke Sustainable Community Strategy was adopted by Council on July 28th, 2008. Eight key strategies were identified:

  1. Create neighbourhood centres and a downtown waterfront that are compact and complete.
  2. Develop a transportation system that provides viable opportunities for non-automobile and transit use.
  3. Support low-impact, energy-efficient, healthy buildings in which to live, work and play.
  4. Celebrate cultural and ecological assets through the management of open spaces and the public realm.
  5. Develop low-impact, efficient, green infrastructure.
  6. Foster a healthy, resilient and supportive community.
  7. Promote jobs and businesses that contribute to a locally-oriented, green economy.
  8. Promote a healthy, sustainable, local food system.
