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.

SNAP Fall Survey Update

Thank you to the 130+ people who took the time to participate in the Town’s Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) survey this fall.

  • The priorities for action, ranked in order of importance, were as follows:
    1. Sustainability improvement to parks, roads, and other public spaces
    2. Stormwater management and flood protection
    3. Water and energy conservation programs
    4. Local food production
    5. Health and wellness
