SPC team helps the Village of Kaslo undertake sustainability planning process!

The Village of Kaslo has launched an Integrated Community Sustainability Planning (ICSP) process. Working with the Village Council and the community, the planning process is being led by staff from Smart Planning for Communities (SPC), a program of the Fraser Basin Council (FBC). The purpose is to envision Kaslo well into the future as a sustainable community, looking at all aspects – social, economic, cultural and environmental.

The Kaslo ICSP process will build upon the visions and goals developed recently on related topics such as climate change adaptation and agriculture, as well as the updated Official Community Plan, and other relevant community projects and initiatives. How can Kaslo integrate these goals and bring together these various strategies?  What elements might be missing in working toward a sustainable future?

To date, the background work has been focusing on reviewing and analyzing the above studies and planning reports.  In the coming weeks, the attention will be on organizing community participation, focus group sessions, and information updates on the Village’s website.
