Environmental Sustainability Action Plan

Environmental Sustainability Action Plan

Bruce County is developing its first Environmental Sustainability Action Plan - a roadmap to support a more resilient, climate-conscious, and environmentally responsible future.

This plan will guide practical, collaborative actions that strengthen environmental stewardship, support climate adaptation, and promote long-term sustainability across the region.

Thank You for Sharing Your Input

Public and stakeholder engagement closed in June 2025, and we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to participate. Your feedback - along with input from County staff, Indigenous partners, and local municipalities - is shaping the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan currently in development.

The Plan will identify Bruce County’s current strengths, gaps, and opportunities and set out actions in priority areas such as:

• Climate Adaptation and Mitigation 
• Stewardship and Forest Conservation
• Waste Management
• Sustainable Transportation and Mobility

Current Status

The draft Environmental Sustainability Action Plan will be presented to County Council on April 2, 2026, as part of a “first look” to seek Council’s initial feedback.

• View the Council agenda here.
• Access the draft ESAP and supporting materials here.
• Watch the meeting livestream (April 2 at 9:30 AM) here.
   

What's Next

Council’s feedback will help guide refinements to the plan before it is finalized and brought forward for endorsement later in 2026.

Following endorsement, the ESAP will guide implementation across Bruce County and in collaboration with local and regional partners.
