Sustainability Checklist
The Sustainability Checklist is intended to assist staff, Council and applicants to evaluate new
projects and initiatives in accordance with Sechelt’s four pillar approach to sustainability. Ideally,
new projects will embrace as many of the environmental, economic, and social/cultural goals and
principles as possible. This checklist also allows proponents to highlight any innovative or special
features that support the District’s sustainability goals. The checklist is structured so that leadership,
economic, social/cultural (community well-being), and environmental considerations are given
equal importance. No pass/fail standard is set, but the checklist result will assist Council in making
informed decisions relative to sustainability goals.
