Environmental Strategic Plan
The Town of Oakville has developed an Environmental Strategic Plan (ESP) to help improve the environment in Oakville. The ESP provides opportunities for residents, environmental groups, commercial interests, industry, community associations, educators and all other community interests to identify what they can do to protect and improve their environment, along with the Town of Oakville. The ESP has now been finalized and is entering into the implementation phase, beginning with the development of the ESP Advisory Committee. The Vision, Guiding Principles and Goals set out in the ESP set appropriate policy statements for an Environmental Strategic Plan that can be supported by Town staff.
