Overall the 2026 budget makes modest investments in the right direction. To make the transformative changes we need, federal and provincial governments need to be engaged to make Toronto greener for all. For more updates, sign up for TEA’s newsletter here: torontoenvironment.org/newsletter_sig…

❌ Where we’re behind: More than half of the climate pollution in Toronto comes from buildings. While Toronto has good building decarbonization loan programs, we need more cooperation between all governments to fund and enable retrofits at the scale they have all committed to.

The City of TO has released the draft 2026 budget, TEA is particularly pleased to see the expansion of the pilot project providing cooling to vulnerable tenants to keep them safe as summers get hotter. Stay tuned for budget analysis updates next week ⬇️ torontoenvironment.org/newsletter_sig…

This system will only work if governments sets strong, clear rules. Instead the Ford government caved to lobbying and weakened the rules at every turn. Corporations aren’t going to fix these rules, it’s the province’s job. Ford needs to step up and fix the mess they made #onpoli

Ontario's new Blue Box system is a mess. Behind the scenes, it's even worse. Circular Materials is run by big corps like McDonalds & Coca-Cola who are focused on weakening regulation and protecting their profits, not on reducing waste. thestar.com/news/ontario/o…
