Entrenched in the proposed policy is municipal recognition that community gardening is "a valuable activity that contributes to sustainable urban living, community development, health and well-being, positive social interactions, environmental education, protection and use of open space, and enhanced food security."
The Policy is meant to structure collaborations between the City and non-profit groups and neighbourhood associations to fruitfully develop, operate and manage community gardens on municipally owned lands.
