Sustainable agriculture integrates environmental stewardship, economic profitability and social responsibility. The National Capital Commission’s (NCC) Strategy for Sustainable Agriculture emphasizes three objectives: defining the right types of farms for the Greenbelt, promoting a diversified agriculture, and encouraging innovative marketing approaches and value-added activities. Greenbelt farming takes place in a suburban setting, and the proximity to the city brings opportunities and challenges. Will your farm benefit from the local or regional market? How will your farm business activities fit and integrate with Canada’s Capital Region? This form is the basis for the selection of proponents applying for an agricultural lease. The objective is to contribute to the successful development of agriculture and farm businesses in the Greenbelt. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate proof of financial means and consent to a verification of their credit rating.

Horizon 2067 updates the Plan for Canada’s Capital, which was published in 1999. This plan establishes federal government policy for planning and the physical development of the Capital over the next 50 years. In the fall of 2011, the National Capital Commission (NCC) invited Canadians from all regions of the country to share with us their ideas on creating a one‐of‐a‐kind capital.
The second phase of this engagement, namely a series of regional conversations, included workshops and online consultations. The purpose of this phase was to share, in broad terms, some of the feedback that the NCC had received during the fall and to solicit ideas and comments from people living in Canada’s Capital Region regarding the vision and strategies put forth in the Horizon 2067 plan.

Planning for the Future of Our Capital
At the dawn of the 21st century, Canada’s Capital needs a visionary and concrete action plan to meet the challenges ahead and to continue building a capital that vividly expresses the values and hopes of Canadians. With this mission in mind, the National Capital Commission (NCC) embarked on a unique and ambitious public consultation exercise in the fall of 2011. The consultation aimed to reach as many Canadians as possible, and gather their thoughts, ideas and aspirations for the future of Canada’s Capital. As part of the review of the Plan for Canada’s Capital, the NCC’s lead planning document, the National Engagement Strategy was developed to involve and engage the Canadian public from one end of the country to the other. The breadth and depth of the response exceeded expectations, and confirmed that Canadians care about their capital and want to have a say in its future. At the heart of this journey was a desire to connect directly with Canadians on a meaningful level and bring forward, through the plan, a clear reflection of their dreams for the future of their capital.

Financial Results
The National Capital Commission (NCC) recorded an increase of $3.5 million (16 percent) in revenues during
the first nine months of 2011–2012, compared with the same period last year. This increase stems mainly from
an amendment to the payment schedule for the contribution of Canadian Heritage to Canada Day celebrations
($1.2 million), in order to better align cash inflows with expenditures related to the event, as well as from higher
recoveries related to planning studies ($0.7 million). A settlement ($0.5 million), an increase in rental operations
revenues ($0.5 million) and in interest revenues resulting from higher interest rates ($0.4 million) also
contributed to the positive variance.

MyCapital is an NCC pilot project which ran from July 11 to October 11, 2011 on the Plaza Bridge Terrace. The objective of the project was to create a vibrant, urban public space in the downtown core in an area that is currently underutilized. The site was equipped with twenty red Muskoka chairs, two white shade sails and free Wi-Fi access.
An intercept survey was conducted by Harris/Decima consultants among 285 visitors to the myCapital site from August 12 to October 11. Interviews consisting of 10 questions were conducted during peak pedestrian traffic times, on a rotating schedule of week days and weekend days.
The objectives of the survey were to:
Gather feedback site visitors to help determine if the project will continue next year or expand to an additional site with different elements
Determine sources of information about the site, length of stay, reasons for visiting and overall satisfaction levels with the site;
Determine whether or not site visitors benefited from the Wi-Fi accessibility and if it was important to them to have such access; and
Develop a demographic profile of site visitors (age, city of residence and gender).
That being said, Harris/Decima were able to successfully meet the objectives of the survey. The following report is a summary of the survey findings.

One objective of the Gatineau Park Ecosystem Conservation Plan (DDM 2010) is to determine a policy regarding rock climbing activities in Gatineau Park based on Master Plan guidelines. The Conservation Plan was approved in 2010 following numerous workshops with the various stakeholders. The Plan recommends keeping two or three rock faces open for climbing. The purpose of this recommendation is to minimize the impact of this sport to protect the exceptional natural environment of the Escarpment, Gatineau Park’s richest and most fragile ecosystem, and its species at risk.
