Community
Action Across Ontario
|
This section lists contacts and environmental
programs in many of the 445 municipalities across Ontario.
This is very much a work in
progress.
First, many smaller municipalities have only
recently developed a website, and we're always finding new links.
Second, environmental planning at the
municipal and community level is still in its infancy. Not all
municipalities have environmental plans, and very few have organized
community-wide networks and campaigns in support of its environmental goals.
We've searched the internet to come up with a
preliminary list of municipal and community sites. Please let us know of
any changes and additions (cco@web.ca).
For background information
on municipal government, go to www.yourlocalgovernment.com,
which is an information service of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

Details on
Ontario Communities
| This is the
standard chart for each community. The format used is
taken from the checklist in the community organizer's
manual, Community Action for the Environment. Additional categories
have been added for the major networks (Green Communities
and Healthy Communities) and other significant local
projects. To update
the information, simply send an e-mail to cco@web.net
Note: "Local
Funding" is for special funds available only within
that community. See also the Funding section of this site for information on
community-oriented funding.
