Integrated Community Sustainability Plan
What is the ICSP?
CDC Chair Don DeGenova notes that "The ICSP represents a leap into the future for our community. It represents ‘a new way of doing business’ for both the Municipality of Tweed and its citizens. The Plan identifies a vision, values, and proposed actions from all parts of our community, and brings them together in a format that will allow us to move forward. The Municipal Council and the Community Development Committee will be using these ideas to create an implementation plan that will guide and track the specific goals and activities that our residents indicated were their priorities." The proposed actions identified in the Plan reflect what the CDC heard from our residents; it is important to note that the actions have not been prioritized in any way by Council or the CDC. Some of the actions are already planned or are ongoing; others are completely new.
How Was the Plan Developed?
The draft document, titled ‘A New Direction: Our Citizens’ Vision for an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan’, is the result of the community consultation meetings held in April 2009 in Marlbank, Queensborough and the village of Tweed. The public’s response was exceptional. Over 150 people attended meetings, or provided input by other means including email, written submissions and personal discussion. Local schools also participated and provided valuable feedback. From this community discussion, about 1300 individual ideas emerged. These were synthesized into 123 proposed actions presented in a number of categories for each of the four ‘pillars’ of sustainability: cultural, economic, environment, and social.
