The report sets out VANOC’s specific sustainability commitments and progress reporting system for the next three years as it moves from planning to operations and ultimately to Games delivery. It includes accomplishments, success stories and challenges for the 2005-06 reporting period. It also details progress on initiatives for the 2006-07 reporting period, 80 per cent of which are complete or already in progress.
