Victoria Sustainability Framework Victoria Sustainability FrameworkThe City of Victoria is committed to achieving a community that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. The Victoria Sustainability Framework (VSF) is a comprehensive guide to sustainable decision-making and operations over the long-term. The program will provide direction in City operations, policies and initiatives, and guide City plans, such as the new Official Community Plan helping to establish a more self-sustaining future for Victoria. Victoria's Sustainability Action PlanWith input from the community and stakeholders, the Sustainability Action Plan will develop resources to implement, guide and measure sustainable initiatives. The Sustainability Action Plan will outline a five-year plan (2012 to 2016) for the City's resources to ensure civic operations and community efforts can meet the needs of Victoria in the years ahead. A set of practical guides, known as the Sustainability Tool Box, will be developed to ensure social, environmental and economic factors are addressed in City operations and decision-making. The Sustainability Tool Box will help guide decisions related to City planning, policy, and program development. As the City progresses towards sustainability, the Sustainability Scorecard will help to track and monitor progress. Conducted on an annual basis, the Sustainability Scorecard will measure the sustainability performance of both the community and City operations. The Sustainability Action Plan will also address the legislative requirements of the Local Government Act and the Community Charter, and guide the City towards meeting the goals of the BC Climate Action Charter and the Capital Regional District's Regional Sustainability Strategy. Engaging public, staff, and key stakeholders in this process will enable the framework to reflect the input of Victoria's citizens, and ensures the City is focusing attention and resources accordingly.
