Sustainable Kingston Plan Board
A not-for-profit corporation is being set up to oversee the governance and implementation of the Sustainable Kingston Plan. The Sustainable Kingston Plan states "Community ownership is a core principle of Sustainable Kingston and will be fundamental to its success. The Sustainable Kingston Plan (see link at right to Sustainable Kingston website) will be implemented within the community and is not a project or program of the City of Kingston — though the City will be a partner in pursuing its goals. Although striving for community ownership adds to the complexity of implementing the Plan, ultimately it will make it stronger."
