Planning & Development
2016-2020 FINANCIAL PLAN
Implement a new corporate emissions
inventory reporting tool, via a BC
Hydro pilot project, and assess its
functionality;
Continue to implement the Corporate
Emissions Action Plan and move
towards a 20% reduction in corporate
emissions by 2020;
Complete the City’s 2015 corporate
emissions inventory as well as 2015
carbon neutral reporting to the
Province;
Complete the Compact of Mayors
climate reporting as required by the
City’s commitment made in October
2015;
Complete all needed climate reporting
(corporate and community level
energy use and emissions), including
with the Province of BC, the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities
Partners for Climate Protection
program, and through the City’s
commitments to the Mexico Pact;
Assess the new environmental
education outreach program (water,
waste, and energy) developed with
Engineering and being delivered in
Surrey schools in the 2015-2016
school year;
Support organizing for 2016 Party for
the Planet and deliver an on-site
activation;
Complete the Sustainability Charter
update and bring an updated Charter
to Council in early 2016, including a
communication and roll-out plan;
Continue to establish partnerships
with academic institutions and other
groups to complete needed research
in pursuit of the City’s sustainability
vision and goals;
Update the Sustainability Dashboard
with 2015 data and use this as the
basis for preparing the 2015
Sustainability Annual Progress Report;
Follow up on Council direction
regarding ISO 37120 (sustainable city)
certification for the City and if
approved, proceed with the reporting
process;
In conjunction with other departments,
consider a broader City Dashboard
that could elevate and streamline
indicators/targets reporting, link to
benchmarking, and include other City
priorities such as service level
responses. Align as needed with ISO
reporting. Develop a responsive
(mobile) Dashboard website and
subsequently explore its inclusion in
the “My Surrey” App;
Continue to raise the City’s
sustainability profile through events
(e.g., Party for the Planet April 2016)
and social media, as well as staff
involvement in various networks,
meetings and conferences; and
Further refine ideas and objectives
regarding a Surrey-based City Studio
(Co-Lab) model for student
engagement in City planning,
innovation and other needs.
