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:

• Forest conservation and stewardship
• Waste management and resource recovery
• Active and sustainable transportation
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• Partnerships that support environmental awareness and action

Next Steps

Throughout 2025, Bruce County is drafting the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan based on research, engagement findings, and best practices from across Ontario.

A draft plan will be shared with Council in early 2026. When approved, the plan will guide implementation across Bruce County and in collaboration with local and regional partners.

Stay tuned for updates as Bruce County continues its journey toward a more sustainable future.
