This is an idea whose time should come. I actually proposed a Sustainability Commissioner back when Wade was Mayor. Ideally it should be someone at the highest level and who has influence over all City departments. Think of the savings that could come from taking a sustainability approach to all aspects of City operations - building permits and regulation, transportation, planning and economic development,food security, health, energy systems. Such a position would put Hamilton on the international map and be a genuine indicator that Hamilton is much more than the negative image that lingers outside our borders. Real progress on Vision 2020 so we no longer have to be embarassed by the annual indicators report - oopps, guess that hasnt happened since Linda Harvey left over a year ago. This is definitely an idea worth pursuing.
