Called 'Choosing Our Future', this unique, joint planning initiative aims to help Canada's Capital Region face the challenges of the 21st century, and integrate concepts of sustainability and resilience into all facets of regional planning and design. It includes a comprehensive, community-wide exploration of topics ranging from land use to infrastructure, to culture, to food security, that will help re-evaluate institutional structures, mind-sets, and policies. The project timeframe addressed by the project includes a 100-year long term vision, with strategic directions for the next 30 years that include goals, targets, strategies, catalyst projects, and an implementation strategy.
