<strong>Community</strong> Stewardship<br />
9.6<br />
The health <strong>of</strong> our natural environment affects all <strong>of</strong> us and we have a shared responsibility<br />
in conserving, protecting and restoring ecological systems. Environmental education and<br />
partnerships build an awareness <strong>of</strong> our natural systems, an understanding <strong>of</strong> how our actions<br />
can alter these systems, and enable the celebration <strong>of</strong> our shared natural heritage. The<br />
<strong>District</strong>’s objective is to create a stewardship ethic where citizens and businesses engage in<br />
environmental efforts.<br />
Policies<br />
1. Continue to coordinate and partner with senior governments, neighbouring municipalities, local<br />
First Nations governments, the School <strong>District</strong>, local businesses, and community organizations in<br />
the delivery <strong>of</strong> environmental stewardship initiatives<br />
2. Facilitate the delivery <strong>of</strong> programs in <strong>District</strong> parks to advance environmental sustainability<br />
objectives<br />
3. Work with land owners to conserve and enhance habitat on private lands<br />
4. Promote community education initiatives aimed at building environmental awareness<br />
