The FCM Individual and Municipal Awards for Sustainability
New this year, the FCM Individual Award for Sustainability and the FCM Municipal Award for Sustainability promote and reward municipal champions, inspire municipal governments to commit to further action, and showcase and encourage exchange of best practices among Canadian communities.
The winners for 2010 were announced at a gala evening on Sunday, May 30, at the Allstream Centre in Toronto.
FCM Individual Award for Sustainability: Mark Brostrom, City of Edmonton, Alberta
As director of the office of the environment and energy, Mark Brostrom has helped guide the City of Edmonton on the path to sustainability. Under Mark’s guidance, Edmonton has undertaken 10 GMF-funded projects and won the FCM Sustainable Community Award in 2005 in the planning category.
Mark also leads the city’s activities as a member of the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. Considered a champion in the field for over 15 years, Mark has also participated in the FCM Sustainable Communities Mission.
FCM Municipal Award for Sustainability: City of Toronto, Ontario
Canada’s largest municipality is also a leader in environmental initiatives. With 37 successful applications for GMF funding and seven FCM Sustainable Community Awards to its credit, Toronto is also a member of PCP — currently at Milestone 3 in both the corporate and community categories — and regularly sends delegates to the FCM Sustainable Communities Mission.
The work in this municipality is highly innovative, making Toronto truly a leader in action on sustainability.
