Sustainable development "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" - United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987.
By establishing an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP), the County of Lambton recognizes the interconnected nature of its operations, community health, and the four pillars of sustainability.
The County's ICSP is founded on six principles of sustainability. It was created through consultation with community representatives, with support from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities through an agreement with the Association of Municipalities Ontario.
