The 4 Committees of Sustainable Cobourg:

It addresses issues of concern regarding sustainable planning and development with the Town as they arise.

The Bicycle Action Committee serves to improve the bicycling culture in Cobourg by advocating for new bike lanes and routes, improved safety and convenience for cyclists, and bicycle tourism. The Committee developed a Bicycle Action Plan which it presented to the councils of Cobourg and Northumberland County.

Food Action Committee
The Food Action Committee encourages AWARENESS of where our food comes from, how it’s grown, when it was harvested and how it’s processed. We promote ACCESSIBILITY to affordable, local food and information about nutrition and local food programs. We provide CONNECTIONS to useful information and advocate for a sustainable food FUTURE.
