Our sustainable future will be based on thoughtful growth, health and wellness, creative expression and preservation of our natural environment.
We would like to invite you to become a community partner. All you need to do is to try out the sustainability checklist! This tool will help you, your family or your organization to see just how sustainable your home, your business or community organization already are. It can also be used to rate new projects, construction, renovations and programs. To become a community partner just open up the form on the left hand menu under Sustainable Bancroft Links and follow the instructions. If you have questions please contact sustainablebancroft@gmail.com.
We will be recognizing all of our community partners on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at the North Hastings High School at 2:00 PM. The Community Sustainable Planning Committee of the Town of Bancroft is reporting to the people of Bancroft on our achievements for the past year and the areas where we need to do more work. Our report to the public will be held in conjunction with the second annual The Earth is Hiring Symposium which is being hosted by ReUseGreenTEC.
