Community Ownership

As a partner organization, partners are encouraged to support Sustainable Kingston by:

• Demonstrating a shared vision of sustainability through actions appropriate to the business of our organization
• Participating in improving and implementing the Sustainable Kingston Plan
• Communicating about actions that we are taking and how our actions contribute to a Sustainable Kingston
• Sharing best practices and lessons learned

Community Partners are encouraged to examine their organization’s strategic plans, goals, and actions and seek alignment with Sustainable Kingston. In this way, Community Partners contribute to the vision of Kingston – Canada’s Most Sustainable City.

The Community Partnership is included in Appendix B of the Sustainable Kingston Plan.

Citizens’ Commitment

As a member of the community, citizens recognize and take ownership for lifestyle choices that can have an impact on the sustainability of Kingston and the world. Citizens commit to help shape and implement the Plan.

As a community member, citizens commit to:

• Take actions that contribute to moving Kingston toward a more sustainable future
• Assist where I am able with the improvement and implementation of the Plan on an ongoing basis
• Share stories about the actions that I am taking
• Talk to others about sustainability

Individuals who are part of organizations that have completed the Community Partnership are also encouraged to sign the Citizen’s Commitment form.

The Citizen’s Commitment is included in Appendix C of the Sustainable Kingston Plan.
