KING TOWNSHIP SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE TERMS OF REFERENCE

1. Purpose of the Sustainability Committee

The purpose of the Sustainability Committee is to guide the implementation of the Township’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) which was originally adopted by Council in April 2012 and amended as required.

The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (referred to as the Plan) is a living document intended to guide King on its path to sustainability. The Plan recommends an implementation framework that is characterized as being municipally led and community supported to allow the municipality to share the responsibility for implementing the Plan with the community and therefore recommends the establishment of the Sustainability Committee. The Plan has 19 themes, organized by the four pillars of sustainability (environment, economy, socio-culture and finance). A substantial list of potential action items were generated through the Plan’s development. The Committee will work with, advise and support Council and community groups implementing the Plan. Some of these action items have been identified as the responsibility of the Township, and as such the Township will take the lead role in implementing them.

2. Committee Objectives, Responsibilities and General Activities

The Committee is responsible for assisting in the implementation of the community led immediate priorities outlined in the Plan. The Committee will also be responsible for prioritizing the action bank items identified in the Plan and will provide advice on the action items that the Township will take the lead on. The Committee will evaluate other potential action items. It will also make recommendations to Council related to potential associated funding and other resource allocation. Further, the Committee is responsible for taking the necessary steps to recruit and engage businesses, developers, community organizations, stakeholders and the larger community to endorse and carry out the Plan’s many actions. The Committee will receive and vet requests from community groups looking to undertake actions within the Plan. The Committee will be responsible for reaching out to potential collaborators or partners identified in the Plan to confirm participation for implementation.

The Committee will work collaboratively with each other, Council, Township staff and community groups as needed to ensure implementation. The Committee will use the Sustainability Plan’s Alignment Tool for new plans, proposals, projects, and actions put forward to the Sustainability Committee by community groups and/or staff. The intent of the Alignment Tool is to provide the Sustainability Committee and/or Council with a sense of how the proposed initiative helps to further the vision, goals, strategies and actions identified in the Township’s ICSP.

Review the Sustainability Advisory Committee's Terms of Reference Page 4 of 52 AGENDA ITEM #4.4

SOCIO-CULTURE Sense of Community

American Public Works Association Accreditation – Three of King’s departments — Engineering, Public Works and Building; Planning; and Parks, Recreation and Culture — have received the national accreditation for their work performances in the public works industry. King is the first municipality in ALL Ontario that has received such accreditation, and the second in Canada.

The program involves a self-assessment process where staff documents their own work procedures and practices and an accreditation team conducts an on-site evaluation and review of documentation during the accreditation process. The accreditation means the three King departments have met or exceeded standards of performance in areas such as road and bridge repair and maintenance, engineering and AGENDA ITEM #4.6

Page 10 of 52 construction services, building and grounds maintenance, utility co-ordination and vehicle maintenance.

Township Accreditation Team consisted of thirty members of staff, but many more employees from all Departments have made huge contributions to this overall success. Achieving accreditation is a great accomplishment that King is very proud of.

4. Brief Description of the Initiative (max. 100 words):

LEAF's subsidized Backyard Tree Planting Program is funded by the Regional Municipality of York. The program offers native tree and shrub planting services to residents across the Region, including King. LEAF already has educational materials that highlight the important connections between bees and native trees/shrubs/plants, and provide practical tips for achieving a bee-friendly environment on their own property.

This Sustainable King grant will be used to support increased outreach and education, in order to increase resident take up of the existing, subsidized Backyard Tree Planting Program. LEAF will conduct outreach and engagement efforts through events that will incorporate free native shrub and seed giveaways at public events and community plantings. The giveaways will be small incentives for residents to learn about how "Bees Love Trees" and how they can take simple actions on their own properties to make their properties more bee-friendly.

100 free native shrubs and 500 native wildflower seed packs will be distributed for participants to plant on their own properties. LEAF will ensure proper education on selection, planting and care is part of each event to ensure all species planted may thrive. LEAF will host a special "Bees Love Trees" giveaway/promotion event as part of the Town's Earth Hour or Earth Week celebrations. Additionally, LEAF will host 2 naturalization planting events in partnership with the Township, engaging volunteers to plant 500 native trees and shrubs on public land. This series of events also allow for the promotion of LEAF's Backyard Tree Planting Program to encourage native tree planting on private property in King.

In addition, increasing awareness around the importance of native species and the urban forest directly supports the Environmental pillar of King's Sustainability Plan. Private properties constitute a significant percentage of plantable land and individuals play a major role in supporting biodiversity and tree canopy by planting on their own properties, which ultimately supports the environmental integrity of the township. Spreading awareness about native species and providing access to native plants are two important steps in cultivating a healthy and sustainable landscape thought King.

Engaging volunteers in community planting events provides a hands-on opportunity for people to learn about the natural environment and how King is striving to create a sustainable Township.

These educational opportunities include important conversations around King's natural heritage and the impact of native species on climate change, air quality, water quality and biodiversity. Additionally, these events help cultivate a sense of community among residents who meet and connect with each other and feel part of a larger initiative to steward the natural environment in the Township.

And, last but not least, this initiative will assist King in meeting it's commitments as a new Bee City!
