Sustainable Communities Toolkit
(FREE for Members and Municipal Government Partners)
The new Sustainable Communities Toolkit is a comprehensive resource manual that provides Canadian municipalities with practical guidance for implementing sustainability solutions within their community. This 248-page Toolkit contains principles, best practices, guidelines, and case studies from across Canada, representing municipalities of varying sizes.
Its contents reflect the transition currently underway in the green building community - broadening thinking from the building scale to the community scale. An updated version of the CaGBC’s popular Municipal Green Building Toolkit is included within Chapter 5: Buildings.
The Sustainable Communities Toolkit focuses on the following six topics:
Community Planning
Natural Environment
Transportation
Buildings
Infrastructure
Energy
