Toronto City Council is about to make a decision about waste diversion services, one of the most important environmental programs in Toronto. In this report, TEA identifies why Council must be cautious and seek further information before voting to contract out waste collection in Scarborough.

Two City Councillors have recently taken the lead to protect our water and take a stand against pollution in our sewer system. TEA has played a key role in getting these issues on the agenda, working directly with these Councillors to bring the matter forward at City Hall.

From January 19 until mid-February, there will be 14 Councillors hosting Budget Townhalls around Toronto to discuss the 2016 City Budget.
