Charting Calgary's Low Carbon Future

We are pleased to present Calgary's Low Carbon Future Summit Outcomes  (1.46 MB) from the Sept. 18, 2009 event at SAIT Polytechnic.

This document represents the outcomes from an initiative that was convened by The City of Calgary, with the content developed by over 400 Calgarians that engaged in the process that spanned five months.

Sponsorship for this event was provided by:

Calgary's Low Carbon Future Framework  (178 KB) is intended to be a call to action for all Calgarians and a reference to examine when considering strategic direction, business plans or individual initiatives.

Since the Summit, The City's Community Energy Initiative Team: Reducing Calgary's EcoFootprint (CEI) in the Environmental and Safety Management (ESM) group has been working with a variety of partners to collate the results from the process:

• Alberta Culture & Community Spirit  - This Alberta provincial government ministry provides a broad range of programs that support a high quality of life and are valued by Albertans.
• Members of the Low Carbon Future Advisory Group  (34 KB) - A number of participants expressed interest to serve in an Advisory Group for this process. These individuals are broadly representative of the Calgary community from business, government, institutions and the public.
• Member cities of the World Energy Cities Partnership  - The World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP) is a collaboration of 15 "energy cities" around the world. City membership of the WECP encourages the exchange of energy industry knowledge and economic and infrastructure development strategies.
• Other local, national and international advisor cities and individuals.
