This Communications and Engagement Strategy lays out the approach Sustainable Severn
Sound will take towards communication and how it will involve the partners, organizations
and residents of local communities. This strategy supports, facilitates, and promotes:
Implementation of the Severn Sound Sustainability Plan
A knowledgeable, informed, and motivated community
Responsible and effective decision-making
Understanding, trust, and confidence in the project
Good communication and engagement practice must also extend to communications
between Sustainable Severn Sound and its partner organizations. This strategy should
integrate with other strategies, primarily the Strategic Plans of the partner municipalities
and supporting strategies and plans as they emerge. As such, this strategy is a living and
evolving document that strives to ensure good communication and engagement practices
throughout the journey of Sustainable Severn Sound.
This document aims to advance these goals by providing a clearly-structured plan for
effective communication and engagement. It will outline key messages and methods of
communication and engagement that Sustainable Severn Sound will use when interacting
with its strategic partners and the general public. It is meant to be used in tandem with the
1
Monitoring and Reporting Framework in order to document and share results of progress
made from an established baseline and to support organizational change as sustainability-
driven efforts and decisions become embedded in municipal structures.
Sustainable Severn Sound is managed by a Steering Committee (SC) that is comprised of
representatives from the nine (9) municipalities in the Severn Sound watershed, as well as
other partner organizations. The SC will be responsible for this Communications and
Engagement Strategy.
2.1 OBJECTIVES
The principal objectives of the Communications and Engagement Strategy are:
To promote and enable effective communication between the Sustainable Severn
Sound partners and the residents of the Severn Sound watershed
1
This report is forthcoming
2
Page 35 of 132
9a)
To help Sustainable Severn Sound (SSS) act as a catalyst for innovation, creativity,
and intelligent use of the watersheds resources in order to advance the Vision of the
Sustainability Plan
To create a high level of public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the
work of SSS
To aid SSS in attracting and maintaining public and/or private sector involvement
and investment in projects and programs
2.2 REPUTATION
The reputation of Sustainable Severn Sound is critical in ensuring that our residents have
awareness of and confidence in the Plan. We need to anticipate, understand, and respond
to issues raised in the public. We also need to build understanding and support among our
partners and stakeholders in order to keep moving toward the vision.
Priorities:
1. Keep partners and community residents informed regarding activities related to
the implementation of the Sustainability Plan.
2. Ensure feedback and involvement from the public is encouraged in all relevant
decision-making processes, and response is provided.
3. Proactively manage relationships with partners, stakeholders, and local media
outlets.
2.3 BRANDING
To build a reputation for Sustainable Severn Sound, branding will be essential. Ongoing
brand management is also part of this strategy, as programs and activities recognized
under the Sustainable Severn Sound program will be delivered by a diverse range of
stakeholders operating under the Sustainable Severn Sound brand.
Priorities:
1. Ensure the partners and stakeholders adopt and use the Sustainable Severn
Sound style and logo.
2. Act as the local steward of the Sustainable Severn Sound brand, overseeing how
partners and stakeholders use it.
3. Produce and publish accurate and comprehensive information about the various
activities and programs as part of the Sustainable Severn Sound program.
2.4 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Public engagement is about empowering community residents to get involved in the
decisions and activities related to the Sustainable Severn Sound initiative, in order to
encourage them contribute to projects that will lead to social, environmental, and economic
benefits in the region.
3
Page 36 of 132
9a)
Priorities:
1. Raise awareness and understanding of sustainability among partner staff,
stakeholders, and community residents.
2. Empower and encourage residents to become engaged in shaping the program
and activities of Sustainable Severn Sound.
3. Develop tools and expertise to incorporate comments and feedback into the
management of the program, which can and will have a meaningful influence
annual priorities and activities.
2.5 LANGUAGE OF COMMUNICATION
Sustainable Severn Sound will endeavour to produce communications materials in both
English and French, where practical and feasible. Annual reports will be prepared in both
languages, and communications with various collaborating organization will be done in
whichever language is most practical.
2.6 AUDIENCE
Sustainable Severn Sound will endeavour to engage all sectors of the community, and will
specific emphasis being paid to youth, aboriginal, and francophone audiences.
Communications regarding certain specific issues would target specific groups or
subpopulations of particular relevance, such as communications on agricultural issues
being directed at farmers.
2.7 KEY MESSAGES
We will tailor our message to the needs of different stakeholders throughout the
implementation of the Sustainability Plan. However, the overarching message that forms
the core script for the Sustainable Severn Sound program, includes:
1. Sustainable Severn Sound is a primary local driver of sustainability, empowering
the municipal partners and stakeholders to improve the environment, community
well-being, and economic prosperity.
2. Our mandate is to coordinate the implementation of the Severn Sound
Sustainability Plan; the long-range plan for the region endorsed by the Councils
of all of the local governments in 2009
3. We are a community-based program that listens to, and involves the residents of
the local communities.
4. We are funded by local governments and have to make the best use of a set
budget. Decision-making will require difficult choices and priority selection, which
will be done in an open and transparent manner that ensures we remain
accountable.
4
Page 37 of 132

5. The benefits of improving the sustainability of the Severn Sound watershed
extend well beyond the communities in the area to the rest of Ontario and the
world.

are divided into two categories: online and offline. The online methods refer to the
programs website and online social networks. The offline methods refer to the following:
Partnerships and leadership
Printed materials and media relations

Social Media
Social media presence will provide increased awareness of the Sustainable
Severn Sound, and ensure an additional level of interaction and engagement,
especially among youth
Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and others can be used to provide up-to-
date news as well as an avenue for feedback and information sharing
3.2 PARTNERSHIP AND LEADERSHIP
Partnership and Leadership speaks to collaboration with the various partners, formal
or otherwise, that have a stake in the implementation of the Sustainability Plan.
Steering Committee Members
Partner members of the Sustainable Severn Sound Steering Committee are
responsible for ensuring that their organizations are walking the talk with respect to
the integration of sustainability and their respective actions as laid out in the
Sustainability Plan. Sustainable Severn Sound will provide assistance to support this
action in the form of research, training, synthesis of best-practices, and sharing of
success among other partners, as resources permit.
Elected Officials and Staff
Staff and elected municipal officials are ultimately the ones that will decide how the
Sustainability Plan will be implemented and how it will integrate with other policies
and procedures (official plans, strategic plans, and departmental plans and
budgets). Staff will have the opportunity to participate in regular meetings to provide
feedback on the integration of the Sustainability Plan. Meeting minutes from
Sustainable Severn Sounds steering committee meetings will be made available to
all partners, and they will be encouraged to include them with council agendas, or
wherever they deem most appropriate. Municipalities will have the resources of
Sustainable Severn Sound at their disposal to support any and all initiatives they
choose to investigate.
Businesses, Organizations, and Academic Institutions
Partnership will be required in all forms to assist in implementing strategic directions
and actions that are beyond the scope of municipalities or other steering committee
partners. Sustainable Severn Sound will provide assistance to various local
organizations pursuing sustainability initiatives to the extent that resources permit.

3.3 PRINTED MATERIAL AND MEDIA RELATIONS
Printed materials and media outlets will serve to better inform the residents about
the Sustainable Severn Sound program.
Brochures and Flyers
Print materials will be used to provide information and education relevant to the
Sustainability Plan. They will be distributed by the partner organizations, at
community outreach events, and also available on the website. A citizens brochure
may be produced to describe how residents can contribute to the regions
sustainability goals and actions. Copies of the Sustainability Plan may also be
available in the local libraries.
Newsletters and Progress Reports
Quarterly newsletters will be available at community outreach events, as well as on
the website. An annual report will be publicly available on the website.
External Media
Local media outlets will be encouraged to inform residents via newspaper articles,
radio interviews, and TV Spots. Press releases will be issued regarding major
stories and events. Other opportunities such as a column in local newspapers will
also be used as appropriate.
3.4 EVENTS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Presentations
Presentations will occur to both partner organizations and their staff, as well as to
the community at large. Presentations to council will be made on an annual basis, in
order to ensure members of council are aware of the actions and successes of
Sustainable Severn Sound. Sustainability training will be offered for staff at the
partner organizations to assist them in integrating the Sustainability Plan within their
organizations operations. Presentations will also be made to other organizations,
including service clubs, school groups, etc.
Community Events
Sustainable Severn Sound will attempt to attend various community events in order
to provide education and advance the Severn Sound Sustainability Plans vision and
strategic priorities Sustainable Severn Sound will develop an event toolkit to be used
at various events, including a ready-to-go presentation board, brochures, and other
resources as appropriate.
Annual Sustainability Summit
Sustainable Severn Sound will organize an Annual Sustainability Summit each year
to coincide with the release of the annual progress report. The Sustainability Summit
will share best practices, provide speakers, engage leaders and the public, and
celebrate successes. The Summit may rotate locations each year throughout the
7
Page 40 of 132
9a)
watershed, but will seek to bring the communities together to share ideas and build
relationships that support advancing the sustainability vision. The Summit will be
open to the public and will provide speakers and workshops to better educate and
inform on ways to make positive change. It will also review progress to date, and
perhaps most importantly, the event will provide an opportunity to recognize
sustainability leaders and distribute awards for successful initiatives taken on by
businesses, organizations, and individuals. The first summit will be held in fall 2012.
4.1 MEASURING ENGAGEMENT
The evaluation of Sustainable Severn Sounds engagement will rely on several objective
and subjective measures which, taken together, will give a general picture of the
organizations engagement with its strategic partners and the general public. These
measures will include:

Promote Sustainable Severn Sound with municipal councils. This will involve
·
making presentations to promote to help familiarize councils with, its members, and
the Sustainability Plan (scheduled for Jan/Feb, 2012) as well as communications by
indirect methods, such as inclusion of SSS minutes in council agendas, invitation to

to create a more engaging user experience, and more useable and frequently-
updated information.

Twitter and Facebook updates will be released on a regular basis, and hence time
will be devoted to developing content.
Develop a series of quarterly newsletters, starting in spring 2012.
·
Develop and proactively pitch news stories showcasing relevant projects to local
·
media.

Billboards are the oldest mass medium and digital
is the next generation.
Digital is an affordable alternative to small
business owners allowing them to reach a mass
audience at a reduced cost.
Because this medium can be updated
instantaneously Digital billboards are the ideal
medium to deliver timely public safety messages
such as Amber Alerts.
Digital billboards can also be used to update
latest news and traffic reports.
What You Should know
1.Digital billboards use sensors that control
the LED output which directly correlates to
any ambient light present.
2.Billboards in general are heavily regulated
through various levels of government.
3.In many North American cities digital
billboards were approved only as long as
there were appropriate regulatory controls
in place.

Research finds digital billboards to be safety
neutral in relation to traffic accidents
according to accident records
Research shows that drivers only glance at a
billboard on average for about a second

Subject: RE: January 25, Item 11a) O-M Representation at NVCA
Speaking notes are as follows:
There are times when Oro-Medonte may deem it appropriate to send two
representatives to an NVCA meeting as they have a one vote per member policy except
on budget items.
It is recommended that we appoint a second representative with the expectation that the
second representative only attends when the first is not available and when it is deemed
that it would be beneficial for Oro-Medonte to exercise its full voting rights on specific
agenda items.
Thanks
