Background:
The Durham Sustainability Stewardship Program (DSSP) is being delivered by OCETA in partnership with DSA and C2P2 from 2008-2011, with funding support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Among other outreach activities, the program includes delivery of eight Stakeholders Sustainability Forums, one in each municipality in Durham Region. The forums will aim to create awareness on Sustainable Production & Consumption/Pollution Prevention principles and how these principles and tools can be applied daily, both at work and home. The forums will also provide opportunities for stakeholders to build partnerships, share local environmental initiatives, best practices, and showcase achievements of local environmental stewards from all sectors in Durham and other GTA communities. Local community members will also gain knowledge on what local businesses are doing in efforts to optimize their manufacturing processes to reduce pollution.
