FCM Sustainable Communities Awards

FCM offers national recognition for projects that demonstrate environmental responsibility and excellence.

Across Canada, municipal governments are implementing innovative projects that contribute to sustainable community development. Truly sustainable projects take a holistic, integrated approach, where economic, social and environmental factors are inextricably linked.

Sustainable communities can take many forms: large or small, urban or rural, central or remote. Their paths to sustainability are equally varied. Best practices in sustainable community development are celebrated each year with the FCM Sustainable Communities Awards, which was established in 2000. The Awards are open to all municipal governments and their private-sector partners.

The application process for our 2013 Sustainable Communities Awards is now closed. The winners will be announced in February at FCM's 2013 Sustainable Communities Conference.

The application process for our 2014 Sustainable Communities Awards will open in June 2013.
