From the Council Connection: Public Invited to June 24th Open House An open house to elicit public feedback on the Integrated Community Sustainability Scoping Planning Assessment report prepared by Urban Systems will be held on June 24, 2008 at the Senior’s Drop-In Centre across from City Hall beginning at 7:00 pm. The intent of the community assessment is to identify areas of sustainability successes in Fernie, to determine areas where the City should enhance their policies and to identify possible integration opportunities. The main recommendation of the assessment is that the City should initiate an update to Fernie’s Official Community Plan from a sustainability perspective. The other primary recommendation is that the City should initiate a Community Energy Plan in order to address the commitment made by the City to be carbon neutral by 2012 (Climate Action Charter). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. |

Possibly another study or assessment that does little more than provide feel good motherhood statements? It would be really nice if studies that are done actually provide real solutions, with parameters, and time lines. Unluckily I cannot attend tonight, but if it is anything like the OCP, the Affordable Attainable Housing Strategy, the Sidewalk study etc. It will just be wasting more taxpayers dollars. IMHO these studies are little more than con games perpetrated upon us.
