Training Description:
Local land use rules that support nature-based solutions to climate change have many benefits, including reduced flood risks, protection of water quality and supplies, reduced costs of road and stormwater maintenance, open space protection, and preserving community character. Outdated bylaws and regulations can prevent communities from implementing these win-win solutions. Learn how to use a Bylaw Review Tool that can help you give your community's land use regulations a tune-up to ensure they support cost-effective best practices. This in-depth training will prepare you to undertake a bylaw/ordinance review process with municipal officials. We'll provide resources to support implementation.
