TEA staff spoke to the Budget Committee on December 7 & 8th, along with nearly 350 other Torontonians, about the impacts of service cuts on the environment and our society.

On November 29th, City Council approved the Toronto Water and Waste rate budgets.

Fortunately, Councillors voted to keep 44 Community Environment Days, and rejected the proposal to subsidize water rates for companies that break the City's pollution regulations.

The proposed budgets were recommended by the Mayor's Executive Committee and included program cuts and weakening of standards that would have harmed the environment.
