SAULT STE. MARIE RECEIVES TOP HONOURS
AT THIS YEAR’S COMMUNITY CONSERVATION AWARDS

(Sault Ste. Marie, ON) Sault Ste. Marie has been recognized for its commitment to
energy-savings initiatives as a recipient of the 2013 Community Conservation Awards.
The awards celebrate the leadership and innovation that municipalities across the
province are demonstrating to support province-wide conservation goals. Sault Ste.
Marie is among three winners, including Burlington and South-West Oxford.

Now in its second year, the awards are a collaborative effort supported by the Ontario
Power Authority (OPA), the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the
Electricity Distributors Association (EDA). The winners received their awards at the
December 6, 2013 Local Authority Services Symposium, organized by AMO. Sault Ste.
Marie was recognized for the 50,000 to 150,000 population category.

The Community Conservation Awards promote a culture of conservation and encourage
Ontario’s municipalities to participate in conservation activities. Municipalities are
recognized for their efforts in the areas of: conservation leadership, innovation and
market transformation, corporate/internal and community engagement, and
conservation achievements/savings.

The Community Conservation Awards are open to all cities, towns and municipalities in
Ontario. Participating communities are required to provide a written submission that
outlines their conservation efforts and a recent case study that highlights their specific
conservation initiative.

“The City of Sault Ste. Marie has been working towards a culture of conservation for
over 5 years, and is proud to be the successful recipient of the Ontario Power
Authority’s Community Conservation Award,” said Steve Butland, Sault Ste. Marie Ward
Councillor. “Our partnership with the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre’s Community
Geomatics Centre on the Environmental Initiatives Map has expanded this mandate and
increased the awareness of our efforts to the community.”
