Official description
Description
Protecting the natural environment is a shared responsibility across all levels of government. The federal government oversees migratory birds and marine areas, while the Province establishes regulatory requirements for streamside protection. Local governments play a key role in safeguarding environmentally sensitive areas through land use regulations.
To advance shared objectives and ensure City policies and bylaws align with provincial and federal requirements, coordination with senior government agencies is essential. This action involves City staff continuing to engage with these agencies to harmonize policies, regulations, and initiatives across all levels of government.
