Table 2: Canadian Heritage Sustainable Development Strategy 2007-09

Summary of the Key Objectives of the Sustainable Development Strategy

The Department’s Sustainable Development Strategy 2007-09 (SDS) focuses on ensuring that the environmental impacts of its decisions are understood, weighed and appropriately addressed. To this end, the SDS makes its first priority to institute effective governance structures and management measures, with a primary objective to strengthen decision-making and monitoring at Canadian Heritage in support of sustainable development. In addition, the SDS underscores the unique contribution that Canadian Heritage makes in the area of sustainable communities and in particular the essential role that culture plays. This is reflected in the second priority to improve the federal knowledge base about sustainable development and increase planning capacity to account for the cultural dimension of sustainable communities. Finally, the SDS advances previous departmental sustainable development strategies by furthering the ongoing commitment to integrate better environmental management in program and policy areas as well as in key operations.
