Town of Banff Local Action Plan 1 Introduction The Town of Banff is committed to sustainable community planning, and to becoming a leader in environmental stewardship. Through sustainable community planning, Banff can identify strategies that take full advantage of opportunities for enhancing economic health, heritage, diversity of lifestyles, social equity and ecosystem integrity. Energy planning can help the town move towards its sustainability goals. It can result in economic, social and environmental benefits, including: • Reduced lifecycle costs for buildings and infrastructure; increasing profitability of business activities, and reducing costs to homeowners. • Improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. • Less traffic congestion and better mobility. • Reduced energy costs, with local reinvestment of savings help to protect existing jobs and create new jobs. Recognizing these potential benefits, the Town of Banff formalized their commitment to improved energy management by joining the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) Program in 1999. Through the PCP, more than 100 communities across Canada are working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced locally. As a member of this national program, the Town has committed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from their operations and from the community as a whole. The PCP recommends a commitment of 20 per cent reduction in GHG emissions from municipal operations from 1990 levels, and a minimum six per cent reduction for the entire community from 1990 levels, within 10 years of joining PCP. To act on this commitment the Town has developed this Local Action Plan (LAP) for reducing GHG emissions. There were four stages involved in this process: 1. An energy and GHG emissions analysis (the Community Energy Plan); 2. Identification of opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions; 3. Consultation with the community to identify appropriate initiatives for Banff’s LAP; and finally, 4. Implementation of the LAP. This report represents the culmination of the first three steps of this process. It summarises the results of the Community Energy Plan (CEP), the consultation process that was undertaken to develop the LAP, and outlines a detailed implementation plan for achieving GHG emission reduction targets. The CEP was prepared in 2001-2002, and contains an energy and GHG emissions analysis and forecast, and identifies potential emission reduction opportunities. A communications strategy was developed for the LAP, a cornerstone of which was the community consultation process. The communications strategy is included in Appendix 4. The community consultation process consisted of the delivery of five workshops in November 2002. The Sheltair Group Page 1 Sept 2003
Town of Banff Local Action Plan The purpose of the workshops was to engage residents, local businesses and Town of Banff staff in the development of the LAP. Through this process Banff’s LAP will become a “made-in- Banff” solution for energy management. The Sheltair Group Page 2 Sept 2003
