Directions for Our Future is the product of ongoing research and consultation regarding the desires for a sustainable future throughout the County of Frontenac.
The County covers a large geographic area and sustainability-focused planning acts as a unifying mechanism to ensure all its elements are considered in decision making. There are four pillars of sustainability focused upon throughout the planning process: social, cultural, economic and environmental. A County-wide approach towards planning for a sustainable future ensures communities work together with the Townships and the County to achieve efficient and positive results - even fifty years into the future.
This project is facilitated by the County of Frontenac and has been supported by all four Townships as well as local, provincial and federal governments and organizations, community groups, lake associations and engaged residents. The ongoing commitment towards a sustainable future depends on continued support and community buy-in, hence there will be an annual gathering to celebrate and discuss achievements and goals. A tremendous amount of effort continues to focus on introducing, educating and sharing the principles of sustainability with as many seasonal and permanent residents and stakeholders as possible.
