As part of its commitment to sustainability, the City of Saskatoon has identified the need for a decision-making culture that embraces sustainability principles and considers both long and short term impacts. In 2008, Saskatoon asked The Natural Step to review its internal decision-making and governance practices as well as the best practices of leading municipalities.

Based on these reviews, The Natural Step plans to provide a report that includes a summary of key best practices with relevant supporting examples. Excerpts from the report will be available here in the coming weeks. For more information on Integrated Community Sustainability Planning, read The Natural Step introduction to ICSPs. For more details on best practices scans or other services offered by The Natural Step, contact us.
