ASH – ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
Terms of Reference
(Approved by ASH Board of Directors – 1 November 2022)

The ASH Environment Committee is a constituent committee of Action Sandy Hill. Its mandate is to promote a healthy and sustainable environment in our neighbourhood. Sandy Hill is a human-constructed environment comprised of complex relationships among living and non-living systems. Our approach to environmental issues must focus on meeting human needs while ensuring relationships between humans and the natural world are sustainable over the long term. Many issues transcend the borders of our community. Our approach to local issues will require awareness of this broader context, and we will strive for solutions to local problems that are consistent with addressing global concerns. The committee will, however, remain focused on pursuing locally-based measures to address issues in Sandy Hill.
