The four pillars:
Economic prosperity depends on a vibrant, diverse and dynamic local economy. It involves attracting, supporting and retaining knowledgeable and skilled people who incubate innovation, contribute to local and global knowledge, and provide goods and services in the community. |
Cultural vibrancy brings joy and vibrancy to a community. They encompass our various heritages, the arts in their countless forms, and equality of all people. Culture celebrates who we are, brings us together, encourages visitors and welcomes newcomers. It shapes our values, our behaviours and our attitudes. The cultural pillar advances the primary objective of any sustainable community, which is the promotion of well‐being through enhancing quality of life and place. A community’s vibrancy is closely related to the vitality of its cultural engagement, expression and celebration. |
Environmental wellbeing is fundamental to humanity’s ability to live on earth. We are dependent on clean water, fresh air and healthy soil for our food, our health and for life itself. All of our activities impact the earth and its ability to support our lives and we must be both aware and respectful of this for our own sake and the sake of future generations. |
Social justice means ensuring that everyone’s basic needs are met, that everyone is respected and valued in society, everyone has equal rights within the community, and everyone has equal access to education and health services. Respect for all ages, ethnicities, mental and physical capabilities, is paramount to our community’s health, as is ensuring the vulnerable in our midst are fed, warm, educated and have access to healthcare. |
