English to French: Guiding document Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English It is very important to recognize that each agency reading this document is focussed on an industrial area with a unique set of characteristics and inherent challenges. Industrial parks differ by age, size of area covered, geographic location, proximity to other parks and cities, type of industry, diversity of industry, culture, sense of community, presence of an industrial association, leadership, relationship with municipality, history of environmental issues, and propensity for change. This matrix of features will factor heavily into determining the most effective approach for each agency. Due to these differences, the recommendations in this Guidance Manual are by no means prescriptive. We encourage the reader to pick, choose, and modify the information and advice that is applicable for you’re their particular situation.
Translation - French Il est très important de reconnaître que chaque organisme qui lira ce document concentre son activité dans une région industrielle précise, affichant un ensemble unique de caractéristiques et de défis indissociables. Les parcs industriels diffèrent par leur âge, la dimension de leur région de responsabilité, leur emplacement géographique, la proximité aux autres parcs et villes, le type d'industrie et sa diversité, sa culture, son sens communautaire, la présence d'une association industrielle, son leadership, son rapport avec la municipalité, ses antécédents en questions de l'environnement, et sa propension au changement. Cette matrice de traits uniques, sa spécificité, compteront lourdement dans la détermination de l'approche la plus efficace pour chaque organisme. En raison de ces différences, les recommandations du Guide ne seront carrément pas normatives. Nous encourageons fortement le lecteur à choisir et à modifier, l'information et les conseils qui s'appliqueront à leur situation particulière.
