Greenspace Plan & Biodiversity Policy

We are creating a Greenspace and Natural Corridors Plan Bylaw (Greenspace Plan) and a Biodiversity Policy. The Greenspace Plan and the Biodiversity Policy will help the City manage, protect, and restore natural areas while increasing biodiversity within the city.

Greenspaces and natural corridors play a vital role in our lives. We rely on nature for food, shelter, clean air, clean water, recreation, and well-being.

Creating the plan

The Greenspace Plan and the Biodiversity Policy will integrate First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and Western ways of knowing. This work will be guided by Two-Eyed Seeing. Two-Eyed Seeing encourages seeing with one eye the strengths of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, and with the other eye the strengths of Western knowledge and ways of knowing. By using both together, we can create a better future for all living things.
