Policies and Initiatives
The City practises continual improvement and collaboration with other levels of government, businesses, and the Richmond community to ensure that a healthy environment exists well into the future.
Examples of initiatives and policies include:
- integration of environmental policies into the City’s Official Community Plan;
- integration of community input into decision-making through the City’s Advisory Committee on the Environment (ACE);
- greening our corporate practices, including the environmentally-award winning City Hall;
- greening the built-form of the community and encouraging environmentally friendly lifestyle choices;
- protecting natural resources through City parks and Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA); and
- understanding and monitoring environmental quality through the City’s State of Environment report.
