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

On January 12th 2016, TEA's Executive Director Franz Hartmann, delievered a deputation regarding the 2016 budget at City Hall.

TEA has done a preliminary analysis of four key spending areas in the proposed budget that will impact Toronto’s environment and our ability to help meet Canada’s Paris climate change commitments.

All eyes were on Paris in December to see whether world leaders would make history and sign off on an agreement that would finally lead to real global action on climate change.

Emily Alfred speaks about Toronto Mayor John Tory has proposing ending the use of extra-large garbage bins as way to encourage more residents to recycle.

On Tuesday, TEA’s Executive Director Franz Hartmann personally delivered 4,238 letters to Mayor John Tory from Torontonians, asking the Mayor to honour his election commitments for action on the environment.

On December 1st 2015, Franz Hartmann, TEA's Executive Director, delivered a deputation at City Hall to Major John Tory about the Right to a Healthy Environment.

Rather than support the Polluter Pays recommendation put forward by Budget Committee last week, which would save water ratepayers $1.6 Million per year, Mayor Tory’s Executive Committee decided to delay it for the second year in a row.

Dear Mayor John Tory: Thank you for agreeing to go to the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP 21). Your presence will send a strong signal to world leaders, our new Prime Minister, our Premier and concerned people everywhere, that Toronto wants to be part of the solution to the biggest economic, social and environmental crisis facing the planet.

This Friday, Toronto's Budget Committee will debate whether or not polluting companies should pay their fair share of water pollution clean up costs in Toronto. Read TEA's open letter to the Committee urging action so polluters pay, not us.
