The Sustainable Development Strategy for 2004-2006 reflects INAC's continuing efforts to integrate the principles of sustainable development into departmental decision making and, in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and northeners, to assist communities to achieve sustainability. This is a formidable challenge and one we know may take years to achieve.
Sustainable development cannot be viewed as a disconnected initiative. It must be seen as a collective goal, to be reached through sound planning and implementation of everything we do in the department. Moving toward sustainable development requires us to fully consider the economic, environmental, governance, cultural and social impacts of our decisions on the fabric of Aboriginal and northern communities. Sustainable development is an assessment tool to help us make the right decisions.
