We're calling this the TBM Future Story. The plan development process will include discussions around how we can help to ensure a prosperous, livable, and healthy future for all. We want to hear your ideas on ways we can make the most of what we love about The Blue Mountains and our community while supporting changes that make life here even better.

The Sustainability Plan will include three phases. The first phase looks to understand the current state of the community. The second phase will develop a shared vision of sustainability for the community. The third phase will create an action plan that outlines steps toward the vision.
The Town has launched a public survey to gain an understanding of the current state of the community and a description of the local experience. Please click on the survey link located at the bottom of this page. Click here for a printable version of the survey. Paper versions are also available at The Blue Mountains Public Library Branch. The deadline to complete the survey is February 26, 2021.
