Environmental Impact Statement Conference Report

"Take Carolinian Canada to the limit", a one day conference hosted in Partnership with the Grand River Conservation Authority on February 13th, 2003. This was a successful event covering the issues of policy, process and pragmatics to complete Environmental Impact Statements. More than a hundred planning professionals participated in discussion groups to identify best practices and standards that municipalities and practitioners can use in their work.

Examples of guideline documents in other municipalities would be helpful to the EIS Guideline Review Committee to look for best practices across Ontario. Please send them to Carolinian Canada.

Carolinian Canada Conservation Strategy

(Download a summary of the report here - PDF)
(Download the Objectives and Action Plans here - PDF)
(Download the Visions and Priorities here - PDF)

In 1996, the development of a conservation strategy was commissioned by the Carolinian Canada Steering Committee. At that time, Ontario was undergoin a major shift of responsibilities from the province to municipal governments. At the same time, conservation programs were also in a period of rapid change. Because of these changes, a new focus was developed for Carolinian Canada. A program more community-oriented that addresses the landscape rather than individual sites and one that builds broad support would have better prospects for success in the future.
