Actions Belonging to a Plan (View 1029)

Continue to coordinate with the CVRD and waste haulers to reduce waste generation and improve waste diversion rates

When ready, coordinate household, ICI, and agricultural waste collection for treatment at new anaerobic digestion facilities

Work with community partners to deliver consumption, conservation, and waste reduction education and awareness programs

Continue with water treatment and distribution system upgrades through pump replacements with more energy efficient models

Decrease potable water use community-wide through incentive and education programs.

Coordinate land-use development through the Official Community Plan and Transportation Master Plan to diRenewable Energy Cooperativet land-use development in achieving compact, complete communities.

Include this action as part of the approach of Goal 2

Deliver developer and builder information and training through the Renewable Energy Cooperative

Coordinate homeowner outreach and incentive programs through the Renewable Energy Cooperative

Coordinate ICI outreach and incentive programs through the Renewable Energy Cooperative

Arrange bulk solar PV system purchasing

Coordinate with electrical utilities on new metering programming

Follow through on current studies for a DE system installation. Conduct any outstanding system feasibility studies that identify building connection considerations, determine system requirements, and demonstrate the business case.

Perform a feasibility study of the municipal wastewater treatment plants to determine the best option for an anaerobic digester facility.

Perform a feasibility study of the municipal wastewater treatment plants to determine the best option for an anaerobic digester facility.

Periodically increase the energy efficiency of new buildings using Step Code mechanics until all new buildings in 2030 onward are net-zero emissions

Develop a municipally-led deep energy efficiency and heating systems retrofits program

Develop a prioritized list of municipal buildings to retrofit and perform energy audits, payback analyzes, and retrofits starting with the highest priority buildings. Carry out retrofits starting as soon as possible to meet the 2030 timeline.

Update the Transportation Master Plan periodically with increasingly ambitious transit mode share targets

Update the Transportation Master Plan periodically with increasingly ambitious transit mode share targets

Enhance transit service through expanded routes and frequency, as possible

Right-size the transit fleet with smaller vehicles serving short and/or low passenger count routes

Develop an employer and institution transit incentive program that can be offered to employees and students to encourage transit use

Perform an assessment of public transit bus stops and stations for accessibility and mode integration (e.g. secure bicycle parking). From this assessment, create a plan to upgrade the stops and stations to improve accessibility and integration.

Implement the Renewable Energy Cooperative Transportation Master Plan Renewable Energy Cooperativeommendations, developing the Renewable Energy Cooperative recommended cycling and walking infrastructure and networks

Dedicate and deploy annual capital budget to new active transportation infrastructure.

Replace transit and municipal fleet vehicles with electric versions

Implement the EV supporting Renewable Energy Cooperative recommendations of the updated Transportation Master Plan

Update building development applications, building permits, rezoning and retrofitting policies to include EV charging infrastructure provisions and requirements

Develop a partnership program with large and multi-unit building owners to establish solutions for retrofitting buildings with EV charging infrastructure

Require the inclusion of EV infrastructure data in building Renewable Energy Cooperatives

Coordinate and promote EV subsidies, purchase incentives, and bulk purchases

Coordinate and deliver various sector-specific education and awareness campaigns

Install civic charging infrastructure

Establish and/or work with local renewable energy cooperatives (Renewable Energy Cooperatives) to advance solar energy systems and other renewable energy efforts of the CEEP

Convene an agricultural practices working group with a focus on agricultural emissions reduction.

Convene a local environmental and economic development working group.

Implement a high sequestration forest management strategy.
