Social sustainability is based on equity, diversity, connectivity, democracy, and a good quality of life. A socially sustainable community is marked by citizens contributing fully to their own wellbeing and engaging in community life. Building a more socially sustainable community reduces bureaucratic costs and creates a more democratic society by allowing citizens to be more self-determining.
By embracing socially sustainable practices the County of Frontenac is ensuring our excellent quality of life can be both preserved and passed on to future generations.
