Whitby Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program
Sustainability improvements are on the way for the West Lynde neighbourhood and its over 7,000 residents, as the area has been selected for the Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP).
This initiative, led by the Town of Whitby, the Region of Durham, and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, will introduce a series of sustainability-related improvements in the neighbourhood over the next few years. The goal: to create an action-oriented plan to make the neighbourhood more sustainable and climate resilient.
Thank you to the 130+ people who took the time to participate in the Town’s Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) survey this fall.
Your feedback has provided valuable information on the West Lynde Neighbourhood and helped us to identify which sustainability actions are most important to you.
Here’s what we heard:
- Over half of the survey respondents were residents of West Lynde.
- The priorities for action, ranked in order of importance, were as follows:
- Sustainability improvement to parks, roads, and other public spaces
- Stormwater management and flood protection
- Water and energy conservation programs
- Local food production
- Health and wellness
Next Steps
A final SNAP Plan to be brought forward for Council approval by Spring 2026.
