Sustainable Neighbourhood Retrofit Action Plan (SNAP) — Program Evaluation and Lessons Learned forAccelerating Environmental Improvement in Established Neighbourhoods
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has launched a series of pilot Sustainable Neighbourhood
Retrofit Action Plan (SNAP) projects in the Greater Toronto Area. Dillon Consulting is a lead consultant in Phase
3 of one of the pilot projects, the County Court SNAP in Brampton, Ontario. The SNAPs bring together
residents, businesses, community groups and government agencies to develop a science-based action plan for
change that meets the needs of the community. The SNAPs have a broad scope based on a framework of
sustainability themes including: water and energy conservation, natural heritage, greening of buildings; and
other complementary socio-economic themes. The goal of the research is a SNAP Program Evaluation. The
intent is to learn from the three pilot SNAPs that are currently underway, and similar initiatives around the world,
to improve the design and delivery of the program in the future, and its transferability to other neighbourhoods
within and beyond the Greater Toronto Area.
