JUNE 2020 

In solidarity.
Now is a time of suffering and grief for past and present racial injustice, that is evolving into a long overdue time of action and opportunity for change and reconciliation. We acknowledge that there is significant work ahead of us, for all of us, starting now and for the long haul. TAF’s commitment to “multi-solving” recognizes that we will not be successful in achieving climate objectives without also addressing the underlying causes and fundamental needs of people, including equity. We are starting by acknowledging this and seeking to learn more about the communities we are accountable to serve all across the GTHA, and how to be their allies. Through our own work at TAF we will seek concrete ways to increase equity at the same time that we pursue climate objectives. This is a learning process and we welcome your input – feel free to send us an email with your thoughts any time.

GTHA municipalities prioritize a resilient recovery

• Hamilton is developing a Community Energy Plan, which will guide the city in reducing emissions, and fostering local, sustainable energy solutions. If you live or work in Hamilton, take the surveys to help the city prioritize their actions. 
• Toronto wants to rebuild from COVID-19 with a more vibrant, sustainable economy. If you live or work in Toronto, take the survey on how you think Toronto should recover and rebuild. 
• Whitby has developed a Green Standard to advance sustainable new development that will go to council next month. Whitby is the first municipality in the GTHA after Toronto to adopt such a policy. Read our comments and letter of support to Whitby council.
